In what could be a step toward competing for an eventual gold medal, Tom Brady announced on Monday that he would compete at an inaugural flag football tournament in Saudi Arabia in March 2026.

Brady, the 15-time Pro Bowler and seven-time Super Bowl champion quarterback, retired from the NFL following the 2022 season.

The Fanatics Flag Football Classic is an exhibition tournament that will feature three teams in a round-robin format. Brady, 48, is joining current and former league stars in participating.

That list includes current standouts Saquon Barkley (Eagles), Tyreek Hill (Dolphins), Christian McCaffrey (49ers), Sauce Gardner (Jets), Myles Garrett (Browns), CeeDee Lamb (Cowboys) and Maxx Crosby (Raiders), as well as free agent Odell Beckham Jr.
