The announcement of the decision by the Berlin Senate marks the official submission of the city and <a href="/stadiums/ger/olympiastadion_berlin">Olympiastadion</a> as a candidate to host American football matches from 2025 to 2029. Spranger, who was also a participant in the recent NFL game in Munich, expects <strong>the negotiations to conclude with the signing of the agreement</strong> within a few weeks.</p> <p>As part of the partnership, Berlin intends to host <strong>three matches in four years</strong>. <a href="/stadiums/ger/allianz_arena">Allianz Arena</a> in Munich and <a href="/stadiums/ger/waldstadion_frankfurt">Waldstadion</a> in Frankfurt, <a href="/news/2023/02/nfl_international_series_germany_will_host_two_games_of_the_2023_season">previous hosts of NFL games in Germany</a>, <strong>will also remain part of the rotation</strong>. NFL league chief Roger Goodell has already spoken openly about the plans for Berlin during the Munich meeting.</p> <p>Although new to many NFL fans in Germany, Berlin has already had the opportunity to host American football. In the 1990s, <strong>five pre-season games of NFL teams</strong> were held here, but interest in the sport on the scale it is today was much smaller then.</p> <p><img class="pic-center" src="/img/news/2024/11/68Ber01.jpg" alt="Olympiastadion" width="1344" height="755" /><span>© </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/julian_aviation_berlin/">Instagram: @julian_aviation_berlin</a></p> <h2>Investment and profit for German capital</h2> <p>The plan to host NFL games in Berlin also involves <strong>significant investment in the event itself</strong>. The city intends to allocate as much as <strong>€12.5 million</strong> for this purpose . Spranger pointed to the tangible benefits of the matches in Munich and Frankfurt, <strong>generating €70 million and €110 million in added value respectively</strong>. <q>Berlin will benefit not in terms of tourism and economics. The NFL has a unique global TV presence with broadcasts in some 220 countries</q> - the senator stressed.</p> <p>The city authorities expect interest in NFL games to be as huge as the <strong>New York Giants meeting with the Carolina Panthers in Munich</strong>, which sold out in a few hours. The new sporting events are also expected to boost tourism and raise the city's profile. Berlin already attracts millions of tourists a year and the cooperation with the NFL is expected to increase this number even further.</p> <p><img class="pic-center" src="/img/news/2024/11/68Ber02.jpg" alt="Olympiastadion" /><span>© Błażej Rodak</span></p> <div class="ad ad-main"> <p>Advertisement</p><script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>  <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:block" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3866262199209522" data-ad-slot="6919746084" data-ad-format="rectangle"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script></div> </article> <aside role="complementary"> <section class="stadium-list box"> <h1 class="box-hl">Related stadiums</h1> <ul class="box-list"> <li> <a href="https://stadiumdb.com/stadiums/ger/olympiastadion_berlin" class="flag-m ger">Olympiastadion Berlin</a> </li> </ul></section> <div class="ad ad-sidebar"> <p>Advertisement</p><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3866262199209522" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>  <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:block" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3866262199209522" data-ad-slot="7029774330" data-ad-format="auto" data-full-width-responsive="true"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script> </div> </aside> </main> <footer role="contentinfo"> <section class="about-footer"> <h1>About us</h1> <p><a href="/">StadiumDB.com</a> is one of the world's leading websites dedicated to football stadiums.
