IOC Contemplates Flag Football and Baseball for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) is in the early stages of considering exciting additions to the sports lineup for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles. Among the potential newcomers are flag football and baseball, two sports that could bring a fresh and dynamic dimension to the world’s most celebrated sporting event.

Flag football, a non-contact variant of American football, has been growing in popularity worldwide. Its inclusion would diversify the Olympic program and appeal to a broader audience. The sport’s fast-paced nature and focus on skill make it an excellent fit for the Games.

Baseball, known as America’s pastime, could also make a triumphant return to the Olympics. With its strong international following, baseball’s inclusion would celebrate global sporting diversity.

While these potential additions are still under consideration, the prospect of welcoming flag football and baseball to the 2028 Olympics has generated excitement and anticipation among sports enthusiasts worldwide. The IOC’s decision promises to shape an Olympics that reflects the evolving landscape of international athletics.
