NFL is eyeing larger foreign market

According to the NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, the league may play its second regular-season game in Mexico since the Arizona Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers played the first in 2005. That game was also the NFL’s first regular-season game played outside the United States.

Two years later, the NFL had a regular-season game played in London between the Miami Dolphins and the New York Giants. And during the following seasons, there was one regular-season game played in London each season, with the latest and third one being the Oct. 25 game between the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

And now Goodell is eyeing a return to Mexico, saying the NFL isn’t choosing London over Mexico City and he would like to see games played in both cities. During his state-of-the-NFL session Friday, Goodell also said that the league find bigger market in Japan and the whole Asia. Well, it sounds that there will be fans in NFL jerseys all around the world in near future.
