misses the NFL in Mexico, but this 2022 would mark the return of the best American football league to our country since, according to unofficial versions, it has been approved that in the next calendar there will be match at the Azteca StadiumThis after two years of absence due to the coronavirus pandemic.
No NFL game in Mexico since 2019, when the Kansas City Chiefs and the Los Angeles Chargers put on a show at the Colossus of Santa Úrsula, the journalist from ESPNJohn Sutcliffe stated that the league will be next November at CDMX and there will even be a new international destination in Germany, in addition to the usual UK games.
“I am finding out that The NFL will return to Mexico in 2022, the scheduled date is the bridge in November, that would coincide with the Week 11 of the regular season on Monday Night Football at the Azteca Stadium. I’ll tell you the same thing that they are analyzing taking a game to Germany,” declared the communicator, who was in the duel of Cardinals and Rams won by Los Angeles.
Which teams would play in Mexico in 2022?
There is no official information at the time of what the NFL game at Azteca Stadium, but unofficial versions suggest that the San Francisco 49ers could be one of the chosen ones to please the Mexican fans, given the popularity of the franchise since the league wants to “reconcile” after two years away due to the pandemic.
Let us also not forget that in the recent past, according to ESPN, Jerry Jones was pushing for the Dallas Cowboys have a game in Mexico as soon as 2022, so that option is also dormant.
Why hasn’t there been an NFL in Mexico?
The health emergency due to COVID-19 altered the plans of the National Football League in its international calendars. In 2020 it was budgeted that the Arizona Cardinals would be local in the Azteca Stadium, however, the very high levels of infections and deaths from the virus forced cancel the sports show, with the promise of returning in 2021, although that did not happen either.
In that year, the NFL did have matches in the UK, but They ruled out Mexico days before the schedule announcement because they saw the health situation in the country as “a risk”. Therefore, that was the second consecutive year in which there was no activity in the capital, waiting for 2022 to end the bad streak in the face of a desired better scenario against the coronavirus.
