Den amerikanske fodboldliga NFL skriver historie i år, når ligaen for første gang nogensinde afholder en ordinær sæsonkamp i Frankrig. Ifølge flere kilder bliver det Pittsburgh Steelers, der tager turen til Paris for at møde New Orleans Saints den 25. oktober.
Oplysningerne blev først bragt af Twitter-kontoen @OzzyNFL, som tidligere har været kilde til pålidelige oplysninger om NFL-kampplanen. Mary Kay Cabot fra Cleveland Plain Dealer har siden bekræftet nyheden.
Alle internationale NFL-kampe, der endnu ikke er blevet offentliggjort, ventes at blive annonceret onsdag morgen. I år bliver der i alt ni kampe spillet uden for USA: tre i London, én i Paris, én i Madrid, én i Melbourne, én i Tyskland, én i Rio de Janeiro og én i Mexico City. Det er en stigning fra fem internationale kampe i 2024.
NFL håber på yderligere udvidelse af de internationale kampe. Ifølge ligaens Collective Bargaining Agreement med NFL Players Association kan der i øjeblikket spilles op til 10 internationale kampe om året, men NFL sigter mod at øge antallet til 16.
