Last season, it was the Eagles of Philadelphia who played the first match in Brazil to open the season. Now that the Brazil match will be played for a second consecutive season, the League is looking for other territories.
And commanders are delighted to make the history of the Iberian Peninsula.
“This is probably an excellent reason for me to have additional time before heading for Madrid, which will be a really cool experience for everyone,” joked the head coach of commanders, Quinn The rich Eisen spectacle. “This is actually my first international match.
“My first year in the NFL, I went to Japan for a pre-season match with the 49ers, but that’s my first real one. Many people had the chance to do it, and I’m really looking forward to being there.

On paper, commanders should be able to leave with the first match in Spain with a victory.
