The Los Angeles Chargers brought flag football to Greece, hosting their first Flag Football Camps and Exhibition Games on Thursday, Feb. 5 and Friday, Feb. 6, 2026. The two-day initiative began at Anatolia College in Northern Greece before continuing in Athens at Deree \u2013 The American College of Greece, where students learned and experienced the fast-growing, non-contact version of American football alongside Chargers linebacker Daiyan Henley.<\/p>\n
In addition to the on-field action, Henley explored Athens, touring historic landmarks including the Acropolis and a local museum, as the Chargers delivered an unforgettable NFL-inspired experience blending sport, education, and culture ahead of flag football’s Olympic debut at the LA 2028 Games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Los Angeles Chargers brought flag football to Greece, hosting their first Flag Football Camps and Exhibition Games…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":243142,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[179,7708,131,133,132,109044],"class_list":["post-243141","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-long-beach","tag-community","tag-homepage-cp","tag-long-beach","tag-long-beach-headlines","tag-long-beach-news","tag-photos-community"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/243141","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=243141"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/243141\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/243142"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=243141"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=243141"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=243141"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
