In an announcement that has stirred excitement among football fans, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell revealed that the Philadelphia Eagles will be hosting the league's first regular-season game in Brazil on Friday, September 6, 2024. This historic event will take place just a day after the 2024 season opener, marking the first time in 54 years that the NFL will play a game on a Friday night during its opening weekend.
The game will be held at the renowned Corinthians Arena in Sao Paolo, home to the Brazilian soccer team SC Corinthians. This stadium has previously been a host venue for major sporting events like the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the 2016 Olympics. While the opponent for the Eagles is yet to be determined, fans eagerly await the announcement, which will be made closer to the unveiling of the 2024 schedule in the upcoming spring.
