The United States successfully defended the men’s title at the flag football world championships on Sunday, but lost the women’s title to Canada. The US men beat Italy 46-26 to secure their sixth straight title.
US Women Fall Short
The US women started strongly, but it was tied 14-14 at the break after Caroline Moquin-Joubert caught quarterback Sara Parker’s pass at the end of the first half. Parker set up Frederique Morneau at the start of the second half as Canada took control, ultimately winning 27-20.
The top two men’s and top two women’s teams earned a spot at the 2028 Games, along with the US men’s and women’s teams, who already qualified as hosts. Mexico’s women and Canada’s men also earned Olympic spots.
