When the flag football world converges on Lahti, Finland, from August 27-30, officials from 27 nations and five continents will take charge of the games being played at the 2024 IFAF Flag Football World Championships.
Participating federations were invited to nominate officials who were evaluated by IFAF before the final roster of 48 officials was selected.
Officials will represent Argentina, Australia, Austria, Canada, Chile, Czechia, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea, Kuwait, Mexico, New Zealand, Panama, Poland, Serbia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United States.
“We have 15 female and 33 male officials attending, which the most women to officiate at an IFAF championship, and we are working towards increasing participation to reach an equal number,” said IFAF supervisor of flag football officials Martin Cockerill.
Cockerill has participated in all but two major IFAF international flag events since 2005 and has supervised the officials since 2015. He was the event lead for championships from 2016 to 2023, the most recent being the successful IFAF European continental tournament held in Ireland last summer.
