Flag football team hopes to represent Singapore at 2028 Olympics amid hurdles

Symbol sport is United football without the actual contact, and it will make its Olympic debut in Los Angeles in five years.

The five-a-side activity involves pulling colors from the ball carrier in an effort to move the puck up the field and into the enemy’s end area rather than tackling gamers to the ground. Six details are for a touchdown.

The sport, which started with a group of foreigners in Singapore, is becoming more well-liked here and has about 90 players as of right now.

One of them, a local group of about 20 men, was recently formed and competed for Singapore in an Asia-Ocean competition in November. &nbsp,

They then have higher goals in mind and want to compete in the Olympics with the Singapore symbol.

But, Singapore must first be recognized as a National Sports Association in order to compete in any significant Games. That is the first obstacle standing in their way of realizing their Olympic vision.

Basic director of Singapore Flag Football Noel Bay told CNA that there are several ways to being recognized.

An organization or relationship must first be well-established in the community, which includes having the proper management structures and law. Additionally, the members of the correct committee committee, he added.

The association must also adhere to anti-doping regulations from Sport Singapore ( SportSG) and the Singapore government and be recognized by the international governing body, the International Federation of American Football, as the authority for the sport in Singapore. The relationship will next undergo evaluation.
