hotfuns Roger Goodell reveals NFL plans to host games in Dublin in the near future
The league is looking to host more than eight games outside the United States in 2025, including a game in Ireland, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said, according to NFL Network. hotfuns
“We’ve announced that we’re going to Spain, we’re expecting to go back to Mexico City, we’re expecting to go back to Brazil, we’re definitely going to go back to the UK and we’re also looking at the possibility of one more game in the UK area in Ireland, that’s a possibility, and we’re definitely going to go back to Germany, so eight games total, that’s what we’re looking forward to,” Goodell said.
The NFL has played a regular season in the UK since 2007, but has yet to make the jump across the Irish Sea to Dublin’s Aviva Stadium, which has hosted a number of college football games over the past decade but has never hosted a regular-season NFL game.
However, according to Goodell, the NFL is expected to bring its fan base to Ireland in 2025 at Croke Park in Dublin, which hosted a preseason game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Chicago Bears in 1997.
The Steelers could therefore be an option to play in Ireland in the future, as former team owner Dan Rooney was the team’s ambassador to Ireland from 2009-2012, with the Jacksonville Jaguars and New York Jets also considered to be in the running. ( hotfuns )
