Today marks exactly six months until the Flag Football World Championships
The all-time largest Flag Football World Championships will be held in Finland from August 27 to August 30, 2024. Today marks exactly six months until the opening of the games to be held in Lahti. The Flag Football World Championships are among the sporting events that the Finnish Ministry of Education and Culture granted major event subsidies to last week.
The Finnish American Football Association, in collaboration with Pajulahti Sports Institute, is organizing the largest competition event in the history of the American football family. So far, teams from over 30 countries have registered for the World Championships. The registration of over 60 teams for the tournament signifies the arrival of over a thousand athletes and officials in Lahti.
With Flag Football’s Olympic status, the international attention to the games will be significant. Delegations are expected to attend from various organizations, including the International Olympic Committee, the NFL professional league, and the 2025 World Games organization from Chengdu, China. Additionally, media interest, especially in the United States, is expected to be substantial according to preliminary information. All nearly 200 matches of the games will be streamed as live broadcasts worldwide.
The Flag Football World Championships in August will bring nearly a thousand athletes to Finland and Lahti to compete for medals.
