Olympics: A combination of NRL, AFL and Netball stars are being targeted as potential players for flag football which will be played at the Olympic games.
NRL, AFL and Super Netball players could soon become Olympians, with flag football set to be played at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
“We’ve also got our own players who are doing really well for us at the moment and we’ll bring extra athletes from other sports. In NFL flag football, teams play five-on-five and each game consists of two 20-minute halves, but tournament games are typically shorter with 12-minute halves. The NFL’s popularity in Australia is booming and the league has already recruited AFL and rugby league stars to the US, most notably Philadelphia Eagles’ tackle Jordan Mailata, who played lower grades with the South Sydney Rabbitohs.
