The NFL will expand its International Series to include Madrid, Spain, as part of its efforts to increase its global reach. In 2025, Madrid will host a regular-season game at Real Madrid’s Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in partnership with the La Liga soccer club. Peter O’Reilly, the NFL’s executive vice president of Club Business, League Events & International, emphasized the significance of Madrid as an important market that resonates worldwide. The expansion was also supported by legendary Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas, who served as an ambassador for the endeavor. Commissioner Roger Goodell expressed the league’s ambition to bring the game to more fans around the world through such expansions. This announcement follows the NFL’s decision to play its first game in Brazil, representing its first game in South America. With games already taking place in England, Germany, and Mexico, the NFL now has a presence in five countries beyond the United States. The league’s international expansion demonstrates its commitment to engaging with global audiences and growing the sport on an international scale.
