NFL: Ireland could host regular-season game in 2025, says Roger Goodell
Dublin’s Aviva Stadium has hosted sell-out American football college games in recent years, showcasing the support for the sport, and in 1997 the Pittsburgh Steelers played a pre-season game at Croke Park, the home of Gaelic games.
The NFL has expanded its international match series with regular season games now being played in London, Brazil and Germany this year with Madrid confirmed to host a game in 2025.
As part of the International Player Pathway, a number of Gaelic footballers have trialled for contracts in the NFL.
Former Derry player Jude McAtamney made his debut for the New York Giants last week while former Down goalkeeper Charlie Smyth is currently signed with the New Orleans Saints’ practice squad.
