"A flag football game featuring a star-studded roster including former Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has been moved out of Saudi Arabia amid tensions in the Middle East, according to multiple reports. The Fanatics Flag Football Classic will instead be played in Los Angeles on March 21 at BMO Stadium, which is also the planned venue for flag football in the 2028 Olympics."
"The game was supposed to take place at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudia Arabia. With tensions rising, military strikes going on in the Middle East, and travel advisories being issued, the decision was made to move the game. The US and Israel have commenced military strikes against Iran."
"Brady and Eagles' quarterback Jalen Hurts will be the captains of the Founders FFC team. Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow and Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels will be co-captains of the Wildcats FFC team. They'll draft teams from a pool of players that includes former Patriots tight-end Rob Gronkowski, Browns defensive end Myles Garrett, and Eagles running back Saquon Barkley."
