These three teams bring together world-class talent, national team athletes, international champions, rising stars, and players who are helping build the future of the sport in their home countries. This is not another tournament. This is the beginning of the new professional platform for flag football.

Each of the three teams will have 10 athletes on the roster. The Glitter Bombs, H.E.R. (Hustle Every Rep), and Ice Queens were chosen as the team names.

World Flag Series was founded by Phil Cutler, head coach of McGill University's flag football program in Canada. Cutler competed for a spot on Canada's men's national flag football team earlier this spring. Here's what Cutler had to say about the three rosters:

WFS1 will use a 5-on-5 format, which is the same format that will be used at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. All 30 athletes will be compensated. The World Flag Series is designed around elite competition, athlete storytelling, broadcast presentation, and premium fan experience. More information and announcements can be found at the World Flag Series website.
