Mexico loses to Canada, but still hopes to reach Olympics in flag football

The Mexican women's flag football team fell to Canada (20-6) in a semifinal match during their campaign for the 2028 Olympic Games, ending their hopes of securing a spot through this route. The defeat came after a dramatic survival against Spain in the previous round, where Mexico showed resilience. Canada dominated throughout the game, showcasing superior offensive efficiency and defensive pressure that disrupted Mexico's rhythm. Despite tactical adjustments by Mexico's coaching staff in the second half, Canada extended their lead to 20-0 and secured a direct qualification to the Olympics. Mexico still has a chance to qualify if they win their third-place playoff match, as the U.S., as host nation, has already qualified directly.
