After the National Football League expanded its footprint into South America this season with a game in Brazil, the league will head to another new market next year—Berlin, Germany, for a regular-season game.
The league announced its plans at a meeting held in Dallas on Wednesday. At the meeting, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell remarked about the long history between the league and the city, which hosted the Berlin Thunder of NFL Europe for nine years until that developmental football league ceased operations in 2007. The Thunder were one of the most successful NFL Europe franchises, winning three championships.
