The NFL will come to Spain for the first time in history in 2025, in a match that will be played at the Santiago Bernabéu. The emissaries of the North American league, after visiting the Real Madrid stadium and also the Cívitas Metroplitano, Atlético’s fiefdom, opted for the Madrid player for this historic match. With the landing of the best American football competition confirmed, we only need to know which teams are going to face each other in this historic match. As Relevo has learned, The team that will be home to that match has already been decided: it will be the Miami Dolphins. His rival, however, has yet to be determined and will not be known until the 2025 calendar is known.
How do these parties work outside the United States? It depends on the franchises. There are 18 weekends of competition and each team plays 17 games and has a bye (rest week). Therefore, they play nine duels in their stadium and eight away from home. (depending on the year).
What happens when a match is played in another city? The stadium is not neutral, but One of the franchises has to sacrifice one of the games it has to play in the heat of its fans to play it in another city. This is a great benefit when it comes to the international expansion of the brand, although in sports the team loses the differential factor of playing in front of its audience, since in the duels that are played in Europe many neutral fans attend and the only thing What he wants is to enjoy the show and cheer on both teams.
In American football this is even more important than in soccer, because communication between players is essential. The quarterback usually sings each play to his teammates and the fans behave in the following way: He makes noise to prevent communication when his rival attacks and remains silent when his team attacks. It is, therefore, differential.
In Spain, there are two NFL teams that exploit the marketing rights of the competition in our country: Miami Dolphins y Chicago Bears. Therefore, the normal thing is that it was one of those two teams that took the step of giving up one of their home games to play at the New Bernabéu.
The Dolphins will be Real Madrid
The Dolphins, therefore, will feel like Real Madrid that day in the games they play in their stadium. They will have the benefits of the premises and will change in the locker rooms where Ancelotti normally gives his talk and Modric, Bellingham or Vinicius finalize their set-up.
The date of the official announcement is not yet known, but the idea of the NFL is to do it in Las Vegas during the days before the Super Bowl, which will be next February 11. This represents a great triumph for Florentino Pérez, who always wanted the first official American football match in Spain to be played at the Santiago Bernabéu. In addition, the spectacle will be even greater with the presence of the Miami Dolphins, one of the franchises with the largest number of fans on the entire planet.
