NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell wants a bigger presence for American football in Europe.
Ahead of the NFL’s fourth regular-season game at Wembley Stadium, Goodell says the success of the previous matches has buoyed his hopes of one day having a full-time franchise in England.
Goodell says the league plans to start playing more games in Europe in the coming years, but that no timeline for an expansion has been set.
Goodell adds Friday that ”I think the next step will be multiple games. And if that’s successful then I think the idea of a franchise here is realistic.”
The San Francisco 49ers play the Denver Broncos at Wembley on Sunday.
