**Los Angeles, CA** – The NFL is aggressively pursuing global expansion, leveraging flag football’s inclusion in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics as a springboard. The league sees the Games not as an end goal, but a crucial step in establishing American football as a truly international brand.

NFL Executive Vice President of Football Operations, Troy Vincent, confirmed the league is already planning for flag football’s participation in the 2032 Brisbane Olympics. Vincent emphasized the Olympics as a vital platform to reach a global audience: “We know LA ’28 is a milestone, but we’re also looking at Brisbane…how do you become a global property? The Olympics is one of those places where our brand is truly on a global stage.”

To further this ambition, the NFL is exploring the creation of professional men’s and women’s flag football leagues. These leagues, the NFL hopes, will attract international talent and serve as a feeder system for a burgeoning global football community. The Olympic stage will showcase these players, whether already in the NFL or competing in the new international leagues, further solidifying the NFL’s global presence. The strategy hinges on growing participation in flag football across Asia, Africa, and other regions, creating a pathway to professional football and elevating the NFL’s global profile.
