Canada’s men’s flag football team will join the women’s team at the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
Canada defeated Mexico 34-26 in the International Federation of American Football (IFAF) world championship bronze-medal game Saturday in Düsseldorf, Germany.
The top two countries in each of the men’s and women’s world championships were set to qualify for the 2028 Olympics, when flag football will make its Olympic debut.
However, with the United States already qualified as the host nation and reaching the men’s final, the top three finishers in the men’s tournament earned Olympic berths.
The Canadian women will face the U.S. later today in the world championship final.
More to come.
