USA Football, the governing body of American football in the United States and the organization responsible for fielding and leading the national flag football teams that represent our country in international competitions, will hold the second of three U.S. National Team Training Camp at the United States Performance Center on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte from Friday, July 26 – Sunday, July 28.
The 2024 U.S. Men’s and Women’s Flag National Teams, comprised of the best flag football athletes in the country, will use training camp to continue preparing to face world-class competition this summer. The national teams will defend their status as reigning world champions at the 2024 International Federation of American Football (IFAF) Flag Football World Championship, in Lahti, Finland in August. It will be the largest World Championship to date with a total of 32 men’s and 23 women’s national teams from six continents battling for gold.
Interest and participation in flag football are exploding domestically and internationally. This past October, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced that flag football will be included in the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, further accelerating the sport’s exponential growth.
Last year, the U.S. Men’s and Women’s Flag National Teams won gold medals in Charlotte at the first-ever IFAF Americas Continental Flag Football Championship.
