Sara Parker, Marc-Antoine Dequoy highlight Canada's flag football rosters for world championships

Women's quarterback Sara Parker and men's rusher/cornerback Marc-Antoine Dequoy highlight Canada's flag football rosters for the upcoming world championships in Germany.

Football Canada on Thursday announced the rosters for the championships, scheduled for Aug. 13-16 in Dusseldorf.

Parker, who helped Canada to bronze at the 2025 World Games in China, won a battle with Elisabeth Ashkar for the women's quarterback job.

Dequoy joins the flag team after a successful CFL career as a safety with the Montreal Alouettes that included two league all-star nominations and a Grey Cup title in 2023.

The world championships are the first chance to qualify for the 2028 Los Angeles Games, where flag football will make its Olympic debut.
