The Great Britain women's team have missed out on their first chance to qualify for flag football's Olympic debut but will have another opportunity on Sunday.
The non-contact version of American football will make its Olympic bow at Los Angeles 2028 and two spots are available for both men and women at this weekend's World Championships in Germany.
After reaching the quarter-finals as group winners, GB faced Panama on Saturday and came from behind to win 26-20 and set up a semi-final clash with the USA.
Victory would have secured a spot at LA28 and GB led 21-7 in the first half after touchdowns by Grace Conway, Angelica Tait and Emily Kemp.
But the defending champions fought back to win 27-21, while Canada beat Mexico 20-6 to reach their first final since 2014.
