About The Tournament

The 2026 Formosa Bowl 5-on-5 Flag Football Tournament (Men, but Co-ed is allowed) represents a significant milestone in the development of flag football within Taiwan. As the first major international flag football competition to be conducted since the establishment and rapid expansion of the local flag football community, the event marks an important step in advancing the sport’s competitive and organizational standards within the region. The tournament will be hosted in Taipei, Taiwan, and will bring together participating teams from both domestic and international flag football programs. Located in northern Taiwan, Taipei serves as the nation’s political, economic, and cultural center. The city features a highly developed transportation infrastructure—including an international airport, high-speed rail connections, and an extensive public transit system—ensuring convenient access for all participating delegations. Taipei’s compact urban design, modern sports facilities, and experience in hosting international events provide an efficient and professional environment suitable for the organization and execution of a large-scale international sporting competition. The 2026 Formosa Bowl is expected to host 20 teams representing a diverse range of national and regional flag football organizations. Athletes will demonstrate a high standard of competition, tactical skill, and sportsmanship in alignment with the core values of the sport. Beyond serving as Taiwan’s introduction to the international flag football stage, the tournament aims to promote collaboration, cultural exchange, and the strengthening of relationships within the global flag football community. With the support of Taipei’s municipal resources, established venues, and strong institutional support, the 2026 Formosa Bowl is well positioned to deliver an event that meets international expectations for quality, integrity, and overall participant experience. The tournament seeks to play a meaningful role in advancing the growth and visibility of flag football in Asia and throughout the international sporting community.

The 2026 Formosa Bowl 5-on-5 Flag Football Tournament is organized by the Chinese Taipei American Football Association (CTFAF), with the Kaohsiung City Government serving as a supporting organization. Following the successful outcomes of the previous two invitational tournaments held in Taitung, and recognizing the steady growth and potential of flag football in Taiwan, CTFAF has decided to host a larger-scale international competition. The event aims to attract athletes from neighboring countries and regions to compete alongside Taiwan’s top players, fostering high-level competition and promoting the development of the sport throughout the region. Willie and Remi have organized multiple small-scale competitions, two major tournaments, and various community events, contributing significantly to the growth of flag football in Taiwan.
