“The NFL is coming to Germany and bringing football back to Frankfurt. We are absolutely thrilled and very proud that the NFL has decided to play two games in Frankfurt in the next four years. Here at Eintracht Frankfurt, in the heart of Europe “said Axel Hellmann (50), spokesman for the board of the Bundesliga soccer club Eintracht Frankfurt.

Munich is hosting the first NFL game in Germany and will share four main round games in the world’s best football league with Frankfurt over the next four years.

This was announced by the National Football League. Munich is already making the start this year.

The NFL announced last fall that it wanted to play football games in Germany as well as in London, thus paying tribute to the growing interest in the league.

“It doesn’t say too little when I claim that we have achieved something historic, since we have brought the largest football league in the world to the football city of Frankfurt. It started here in 1945 with American football in Germany and this story will now be updated,” said Frankfurt’s sports director Mike Josef (39, SPD).

The NFL ends its current season on Monday night (12:30 a.m.) with the Super Bowl at SoFi Stadium south of Los Angeles. The Los Angeles Rams and the Cincinnati Bengals are playing for the championship.
