The league announced Friday that Spain will host the country’s first regular-season game in Madrid in 2025. The match will be played at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, the home of Spanish soccer club Real Madrid.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said: “Bringing the game to Madrid in 2025 reflects the league’s continued expansion of its global footprint and our ambition to bring our games to more fans around the world. “This highlights the fact that this trend is accelerating.” “Together with the City of Madrid and the Comunidad de Madrid, we are proud to partner with the global brand Real Madrid CF to bring great regular season competition to Spain at the world-class Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. I think so.”
Spain will become the fifth country outside the United States to host NFL regular season games, joining Great Britain, Mexico, Germany and Brazil.
