From Ukraine to Prague: Women’s Flag Football Squad Sets Out for Nations Cup

Prague Hosts the Nations Cup: Ukraine’s Women Flag-Football Squad Takes the Field

According to Спортивний комітет: Ukraine’s female flag-football team has traveled to Czechia for the Nations Cup, an international tournament being held in Prague from August 21–23. In this competition, the Ukrainian side will take on national squads from:

• Ireland
• Switzerland
• Czech Republic
• Poland
• Finland
• Sweden

Flag football is a fast-paced, non-tackling version of American football in which defenders stop ball carriers by pulling off flags instead of making tackles. The tournament is seen as a key milestone in Ukraine’s preparation for the 2027 European Championship, highlighting the team’s serious commitment to upcoming challenges. Competing in the Nations Cup gives the Ukrainian players a valuable opportunity to gain experience and sharpen their flag-football abilities.

Flag Football Gains Momentum in Ukraine

Having the national team at the Nations Cup underscores how quickly flag football is growing in Ukraine and how determined the squad is to compete on the international stage. It also offers the athletes another chance to refine their skills ahead of major events such as the European Championship. Their performance in Prague could be a strong indicator of how ready the team is for the tests that lie ahead.
