Unrivaled Sports has announced a partnership with Drew Brees, welcoming his youth flag football league, Football ’N’ America (FNA), into the Unrivaled Flag family of brands. The collaboration marks a major step forward for flag football in the United States and a defining moment for youth sports as participation continues to rise among both girls and boys nationwide.
Founded in 2017 by Brees and Chris Stuart, FNA has built a network of 24 leagues rooted in teamwork, competition, and character. Under Unrivaled Sports, that footprint will expand to new communities and connect with Unrivaled Flag’s national events, including the High School Girls Nationals, The Gold Jacket Classic, and the Youth Flag World Championships.
“Football ’N’ America was built to give kids the same energy, teamwork, and joy that made me fall in love with the game,” said Brees. “Unrivaled Sports shares that same vision—creating environments where young athletes can compete, develop, and dream big.”
The partnership establishes a long-term collaboration between Brees and Unrivaled Sports to develop future events and programming that advance the growth of flag football and enhance opportunities across the company’s broader youth sports portfolio. Jim Reynolds, CEO of Unrivaled Flag, said the partnership comes at a pivotal time for the sport. “We’re inspired by the momentum surrounding flag football as it heads to the global stage in 2028, and proud to help lead the charge in the youth space,” he said.
Andy Campion, Chairman and CEO of Unrivaled Sports, emphasized that this move reflects a shared mission. “Drew and Chris share our drive to create inspiring experiences that offer all young athletes the opportunity to play, learn, and grow through sports,” he said.
