Confirmed:Five matches in London in 2018
14.12.2017
England`s NFL executive director Alistair Kirwood has confirmed the accounts that next year London will host the record-breaking five regular season games. The rivals and the program are expected to be announced by the end of the month, but the main goal is to include the six teams that have not yet played in British territory.
It will not be the end of the world if we fail, but we are getting closer to the number 32. This is our goal to thank the fans who have contributed to the success of the series. And they have not seen Philadelphia, Tennessee, Houston Green Bay, Kirwood said.
To date, teams that have not played a game in Europe are:Philadelphia, Seattle, Tennessee, Green Bay, Houston and Carolina. Titans and Texans seem the easiest to plan, as they are in the Jacksonville division, and the jaguars will play as symbolic hosts in London next year. Philadelphia also have a visit to Jacksonville in 2018.
Seattle may appear at Twickenham in October against LA Rems, who are lagging behind the construction schedule of their new stadium and are expected to accept a bid for an extra match in London outside the Preliminary Contract.
Green Bay spoke in 2015 that they would play at Tottenham`s new stadium. The option to host is considered impossible, and next year the packers are visiting Chicago, Detroit, Minnesota, LA Rems, Seattle, New England, NJ Jets and a team from NFC East.
Carolina seems to be the most difficult to access next year, but they are visiting Cleveland, who are believed to be willing to sacrifice a match through empty stands at home at the expense of a sold-out stadium in London. In addition, panthers do not have a concession contract at their stadium, which obliges them to play eight matches within the calendar year. And it does not hinder the relocation of one of them to London.
