The NFL returns to the Bernabeu, an event that comes close to the numbers of the 'Clasico'

Madrid is buzzing about tomorrow's match between the Atlanta Falcons and the Cincinnati Bengals at the Bernabeu for an NFL regular season game. It is the second time that the capital hosts a match in the top American football championship, an event which in terms of numbers and interest almost equals the 'Clasico', the match between Real Madrid and Barcelona. The appointment is for tomorrow at 3.30pm in the stadium of the merengues who play tonight in Valencia, leaving the field open to the US giants.

Last year, reports the sports newspaper 'As', on the occasion of the first official NFL match ever played in Spain, almost 79 thousand fans flocked to the ultra-modern Real stadium and around half of them came from abroad, boosting the turnover linked to accommodation, catering and all services linked to tourism.

This year, even better figures are expected, given that the two teams involved are more attractive and field stars of the caliber of Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase and Bijan Robinson.

Tomorrow's match at the Bernabéu will be the 69th official match of the US championship played abroad. The first dates back to 2005 and took place at the Azteca stadium in Mexico City, but this year the program includes numerous international matches, a new record, between Great Britain, Germany, Brazil, France, Australia and Spain. Italy also plans to join the group and contacts have already been made in this regard.
