Prince William Plays Flag Football in London

Prince William showcased his football skills at a flag football event organized by the NFL for British teenagers at Kennington Park in London. Participants from cities like Birmingham and Manchester were present, and attendees praised William's impressive throwing ability, with some suggesting he could be a quarterback. Phoebe Schecter, captain of the UK's women's flag football team, humorously encouraged him to channel his 'inner Shakira' while throwing. The event aims to promote flag football, which will debut as an Olympic sport at the 2028 Los Angeles Games, and the NFL is working to attract younger fans globally. William, a known soccer enthusiast and patron of the English Football Association, expressed his interest in learning more about the sport. The growth of non-contact flag football in the UK is significant, with around 60,000 youth participating in schools across the country.
