"We expect a decision (from LA2028 organisers) in the coming weeks," IFAF President Pierre Trochet said in a call with reporters. Flag football is banking on its support in the United States, growing popularity abroad as well as potential participation of NFL players at the Games to make it to Los Angeles. The LA 2028 organisers can decide on several sports to be included.
