Although the league has organized games in certain countries such as Mexico, Germany and the United Kingdom, it has never attempted to do so on Brazilian soil. The same source reported that the NFL recently sent representatives to Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo – citing vice president Peter O'Reilly's words – to test the waters. The latter city has also been selected for the 2024 duel, which will take place at the Arena Corinthians.
He said they also visited Madrid, Spain, another country that has yet to host an NFL match. However, in the latter case, the year 2025 is more focused and the duel could take place at Real Madrid's home, the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.
In 2023, the league hosted three games in London and two more in Frankfurt.
