The Oakland Raiders have recently announced that they are reducing their licensing agreements with NFL International, which could put the planned NFL match in Berlin in jeopardy. This move has raised many questions about the future of the NFL in Europe and the potential impact it could have on the sport.
The Raiders have been a part of the NFL International since 2015, when they signed a five-year deal to play in London and Mexico City. This agreement allowed the Raiders to play in two international games each season, one in London and one in Mexico City. However, the Raiders have now decided to reduce their licensing agreement with NFL International, which could put the planned NFL match in Berlin in jeopardy.
The Raiders have stated that they are reducing their licensing agreement with NFL International due to financial reasons. The team is looking to cut costs and this move is seen as a way to do that. However, this decision could have a significant impact on the NFL’s presence in Europe.
The NFL has been trying to expand its presence in Europe for some time now and the planned match in Berlin was seen as a major step forward for the league. The match was set to be played at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin and was expected to draw a large crowd. However, with the Raiders reducing their licensing agreement, it is unclear if the match will still take place.
The NFL has yet to comment on the situation but it is clear that this move could have a major impact on the league’s plans for Europe. If the Raiders do not renew their licensing agreement with NFL International, it could mean that the planned match in Berlin will not take place. This would be a major setback for the NFL and its efforts to expand its presence in Europe.
It remains to be seen what will happen with the Raiders’ licensing agreement and the planned match in Berlin. However, it is clear that this move could have a major impact on the future of the NFL in Europe. It is important that the league takes steps to ensure that its presence in Europe is not jeopardized by this decision.
