During his 2023 press conference in Germany, the two-time league MVP spoke glowingly about wanting to play flag football and represent the USA. "Oh, I definitely want to, but I've seen some of those guys play flag football, and they're a little faster than I am. And there's not like a lot of there's not like lineman blocking for you," said Mahomes, "So I'll be 31, 32 years old. So if I can still move around, then I'm gonna try to get out there and throw the football around. Maybe in LA, just don't tell Coach (Andy) Reid or (Brett) Veach or anybody." Each country's National Olympic Committees will select Olympic rosters based on the proposal by the respective National Federations. "It's an incredible honor for any athlete to represent their country in the Olympics, which is the pinnacle of global sport," said NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. "I know first-hand that the inclusion of flag football in the Olympics has sparked a tremendous amount of excitement among NFL players interested in the chance to compete for their country on the world stage. We are thrilled that they will now have that chance." The Olympic flag football competition will consist of six men's and six women's teams, each with 10 players per team. The game itself will be a five-on-five format. NFL players' participation with their countries' national flag football teams will begin with a tryout or qualification process before the Olympic competition.
