A Triumph for Bring it on Sports and the LA 2028 Olympic Games

In an exciting turn of events for the world of sports, Flag Football has recently been announced as a sport for the highly anticipated LA 2028 Olympic Games. This thrilling development marks a historic moment for the sport.

A Game-Changing Milestone

Following a two-year process, Flag Football’s inclusion in the LA 2028 Olympic Games represents a significant milestone for the sport, catapulting it onto the global stage.
