It’s been almost two weeks since the entire NFL looked enthusiastically to Germany. In Munich, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers around superstar Tom Brady were able to win their first game on German soil against the Seattle Seahawks. A return to Munich could now even take place earlier than originally planned.
According to information from “Merkur”, there is a possibility that another NFL game could take place in Munich in 2023.
Immediately after the game two weeks ago, experts in the USA also spoke up and firmly believe that more than one game per season will take place in Germany in the short to medium term.
By 2026, this is precisely the official plan. Frankfurt and Munich were selected as organizers for this. As of now, the Hessian metropolis will be the next and only organizer in 2023. In any case, the NFL will be a guest in the Bavarian state capital again by 2024 at the latest.
The atmosphere in Munich inspires the entire NFL
The fact that an expansion of the original “four-game plan” is already being considered is mainly due to the outstanding atmosphere in Munich.
Videos of the singing audience went around the world and Tom Brady was also extremely impressed.
“It was one of the greatest football experiences I’ve ever had,” said the Tampa Bay Buccaneers star quarterback. “Considering that I’ve been in the league for 23 years, that says a lot. The fans were incredible.”
Germany the largest NFL market in Europe
According to media reports, more than 3 million people applied for the 70,000 seats in the Allianz Arena. A number that has also caused a sensation in the USA and makes it clear how big the hype about American football and the NFL is in this country.
It has long been known that Germany has replaced Great Britain as the largest NFL market in Europe.
Bett Gosper, NFL Head of the UK and Europe, recently spoke of 3.3 million die-hard fans in this country. In addition, around 17 million friends of the egg-shaped leather follow the NFL a little more loosely.
