The flag football event organized by Tom Brady and Fanatics for Saudi Arabia for later this month in Riyadh is likely being moved to the United States amid the ongoing war in the Middle East, Front Office Sports reported Wednesday.

In light of attacks from the U.S. and Israel on Iran that began Saturday and have continued to cause chaos in the region, including additional air strikes in neighboring regions and travel restrictions in the key global transportation hub, the Fanatics Flag Football Classic is reportedly likely to be moved to an as-yet undetermined location in the U.S.

An official announcement could reportedly come as early as this week.

The event will remain on March 21 as planned, with Fox Sports and Tubi still expected to broadcast it and comedian Kevin Hart to act as host.

Brady is set to be joined at the event, produced by his Shadow Lion studio, by NFL stars including Jayden Daniels, Saquon Barkley, CeeDee Lamb, Christian McCaffrey, Sauce Gardner, Myles Garrett, Brock Bowers, Maxx Crosby, Tyreek Hill, Odell Beckham Jr., and the retired Rob Gronkowski.

Coaches for the three teams playing the round-robin tournament are Pete Carroll, Sean Payton, and Kyle Shanahan.
