USA Football is the National Governing Body (NGB) of American football in the United States, having received formal certification from the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee on April 17, 2025, becoming the 38th Summer Olympics National Governing Body. This distinction marked a significant milestone in American football history as USA Football became the sport’s first National Governing Body.
As the NGB, USA Football selects, trains and leads the U.S. National Teams (in both tackle and flag football disciplines) that represent the United States on the world’s stage, including when flag football makes its Olympic debut in Los Angeles in 2028. USA Football is a member of the International Federation of American Football (IFAF). In its role as the NGB, USA Football is also responsible for delivering world-class football development resources, sport standards and competitive opportunities to empower athletes at every level.
USA Football was previously designated a Recognized Sports Organization by the USOPC on November 6, 2015.
USA Football was endowed by the National Football League (NFL) and the National Football League Players Association (NFLPA) in 2002.
