Saints players can compete in 2028 Olympics, NFL increases overseas marketing
The NFL is going international -- even more so than before. On Tuesday, the league announced three more franchises have been given official marketing rights in foreign markets, meaning all 32 teams now have a presence abroad. While the New Orleans Saints remain the league's only recognized marketer in France, the Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals have been given marketing rights in Canada while the Tennessee Titans will begin marketing themselves in Ireland. Peter O'Reilly, the NFL executive vice president of club business, major events, and international affairs, commented on the development after approval was granted at the league's spring meetings in Minneapolis: "We're thrilled to have all 32 clubs a part of the Global Markets Program in 2025. League-wide club participation in the program underlines the strategic priority both the NFL and its teams share, to invest in global growth. We continue to see strong momentum worldwide and look forward to bringing fans internationally closer to our game, together." Advertisement The NFL's Global Markets Program works to advertise the sport overseas and cultivate followings ahead of more games in the league's International Series, which is expected to include a Saints game played in Paris in the near future. Canada and Ireland are two of the league's priorities with 13 different teams competing for attention in each country. Only a handful of teams have an entire nation's eyes on them alone, and the Saints are one of them. But this wasn't the only international development from Tuesday's owners meetings. A unanimous vote cleared the way for NFL players to compete in the 2028 Summer Olympics on the American National Team in flag football. Louisiana native and Minnesota Vikings superstar Justin Jefferson was in the room making his case, and his efforts were successful. Maybe a Saints player will share the field with him in a few years. "To think about the chance of playing in the Olympics and getting a gold medal, it's a dream," Jefferson said. He's worked as an ambassador for NFL-sponsored flag football initiatives and is clearly eager to expand the game and bring in more athletes from all around the world. He said he's honored to be a part of that endeavor: "The talent is out there. This game needs to be expanded and be played around the world."

Eogene says first senior title a spark to fire him up for more
PETALING JAYA: It was relief for shuttler Eogene Ewe (pic) after ending his wait for a senior men's singles title in the Slovenian Open. Eogene fought hard to beat South Korea's Yoo Tae Bin 21-19, 12-21, 21-17 in an hour in Maribor on Sunday to clinch the International Series title. Although it was only a lower tier event, the breakthrough was still memorable for the 20-year-old, who is currently ranked No. 113 in the world. 'This win is memorable for me as it's my first title in a senior tournament. I wish more titles will follow this breakthrough,' said Eogene. 'I didn't think too much and just played my best here. I would like to say that this is a good start for me but I still need to focus and prepare for my next tournaments.' Eogene's previous best results were reaching the semi-finals in the International Challenge tournaments in Vietnam and at home last year. The youngster is looking to continue his good form when he competes next in the Austrian Open starting on Thursday. Meanwhile, reigning Malaysia Games (Sukma) champion Wong Ling Ching also won her first senior international crown in the women's singles by defeating Indonesia's Deswanti Nurtertiati 21-16, 21-15. The victory will come as a boost for Ling Ching after she initially decided to quit the sport and pursue her studies last November before reversing her decision and returning to the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM). The Sarawakian, who is currently ranked No. 100, will be eager to build on her encouraging showing and move up the ranks. FINAL RESULTS Men's singles: Eogene Ewe (Mas) bt Yoo Tae Bin (Kor) 21-19, 12-21, 21-17. Men's doubles: Huang Tsung-i-Ling Ting-yu (Tpe) bt Jonathan Gosal-Adrian Pratama (Ind) 27-25, 19-21, 21-17. Women's singles: Wong Ling Ching (Mas) bt Deswanti Nurtertiati (Ina) 21-16, 21-15. Women's doubles: Lin Chih-chun-Lin Wan-ching (Tpe) Malena Norrman-Xi Wei (Swe-Aus) 21-7, 21-14. Mixed doubles: Wu Guan-xun-Lee Chia-hsin (Tpe) bt Patra Harapan-Az Zahra Ditya (Ina) 21-19, 21-13.
