NFL boss teases Japan among 10 new nations for regular-season games
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell named Japan as a place he wants to see the league play a future regular-season contest and said he has 10 new host nations in mind.
In a video released by Sportico on social media, Goodell was asked about global markets where he wants the NFL to play a season matchup that have not yet hosted such a contest.
"I got about 10," Goodell said at the Fanatics Fest in New York's Javits Center. "We had a game in Tokyo but it was a pre-season game so we want to do a regular-season game now."
He was also asked about staging an NFL regular-season game in Italy.
"A lot of people want to see that," Goodell said. "That would be fun."
The NFL global markets program links only the Los Angeles Rams to Japan, which could make them a likely choice to participate should an NFL regular-season game be played in Japan. The Rams are also the only team listed for China and South Korea.
The NFL will play its first regular-season game in Paris this year with the New Orleans Saints facing the Pittsburgh Steelers on October 25.
Melbourne, Rio de Janeiro, London, Madrid, Munich and Mexico City will also host NFL regular-season games this year. A long term NFL goal would be to have each team play a game outside the United States every season.
