• This meeting is generally more business-oriented, but there is at least one point of interest for fans on the agenda for Wednesday: The NFL will discuss where its next frontier is for the international series.
As I’ve heard, Brazil is the current leader in the clubhouse, with Spain still under consideration as the league looks to fill the opening it has now that Mexico City’s Estadio Azteca is unable to host a game in 2024 (due to World Cup–related renovations). Should Brazil get the game, it’d be played in Rio de Janeiro or São Paulo. If it’s in Spain, it would likely go to Madrid.
And part and parcel to that will be further discussion of expanding the burden on NFL teams to play overseas—with every team subject to losing a home game once every four years, rather than every eight years, to the league’s international pursuits.
