The beginning of September this year marks the return of the NFL league to Brazil, and on that day, September 5, in the famous Corinthians Arena in Sao Paulo, the Los Angeles Chargers will play a game in the first round of the new season. This move is just one of the NFL's steps towards the globalization of this sport, with the goal of expanding their presence around the world, reaching every corner of the planet and achieving even greater growth in popularity.
The NFL is spreading its influence around the world: What can we expect?
The NFL is known to be committed to expanding its brand, and the practice of hosting games outside the US began several years ago. Since then, this sport has been getting closer to the international public. In 2023, the league will be able to schedule as many as eight regular season games around the world. As is already known, Tottenham's stadium will host two games, while Wembley will host one. In addition, there will be more games in Berlin, Madrid and Dublin, all of these locations are becoming important centers for NFL fans.
England has shown a keen interest in American football for years, with the NFL gaining a huge fan base across the UK. The sport is growing in popularity in Europe, but also in many other parts of the world, showing its power. It will certainly be interesting to see how these games will be played in different countries and how much their popularity will increase.
Last year, Brazil hosted its first NFL game, also played at the Corinthians Arena. The game pitted the Green Bay Packers against the Philadelphia Eagles, and Philadelphia went on to win the Super Bowl later in the season, defeating the defending champions, the Kansas City Chiefs. Given the success of this initiative, the NFL plans to continue this practice in the future, and the signs are clear: They want to achieve supremacy.
We could expect a lot next season.
