Goodell: More NFL games likely for Germany, possibly soon

Associated Press  

MUNICH — The NFL plans to play more regular-season games in Germany, possibly sooner than expected. League commissioner Roger Goodell told a fan forum in Munich on Saturday that the NFL will stage “at least” four games in Germany through 2025. “In our commitment, we’re going to play the next four years, at least, and with at least four games,” Goodell said ahead of Sunday’s game between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Seattle Seahawks at Allianz Arena. “What the commissioner and we are feeling is the excitement from our teams to play here, especially those clubs that have the international home marketing area rights to Germany,” said Peter O’Reilly, NFL executive vice president of club business and league events. The league will sort out its 2023 international game schedule in the next few months, said O’Reilly, adding if there’s an issue with Azteca, “having a clear sense by the Super Bowl would be important.” Any additions to the current four-game plan would need to be negotiated with the German Football League and require space in the soccer calendar.
