The league scouts these countries for regular-campaign matches.

As the National Football League gets ready to play 3 matches over the next 3 Sundays in London, the league is already planning to play future overseas matches in Spain and Brazil.

At the beginning of September, the league sent officials to scout the possibility of playing the 1st ever regular-season matches in Madrid, Rio de Janeiro, and Sao Paulo as soon as the next campaign.

“That’s something we do constantly,” O’Reilly shared with the media. “What is the stadium like here? Could we play a match here? Will fans will come to watch an NFL game?

“I can’t be specific yet in terms of timing on that. But I can give you a positive answer: we are spending time in those countries, building relationships and looking at possibilities there.”

The league wants to play Estadio Santiago Bernabeu – Real Madrid’s stadium, and Estadio Metropolitano – Atletico Madrid’s venue.
