Originally scheduled to take place in July 2021, the Games were rescheduled for July 2022 as a result of the 2020 Summer Olympics postponement due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [3] Flag football competition made its debut as invitational sport of The World Games programme and featured eight men's teams and eight women's teams from around the world who competed at Legion Field.
