Football’s Growing Olympic Connection
The crossover between football and the Olympics is only getting stronger.
Flag football is set to debut at the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, marking a major step in the sport’s global expansion. 49ers players have already been part of that momentum, with reports earlier this year linking Kittle and McCaffrey to high-profile international flag football events as the game continues to grow worldwide.
For now, though, the focus was on the ice, where two 49ers stars showed up to support Team USA in one of the most intense environments in sports.
