Goodell: 'No doubt' over NFL team outside U.S.
Roger Goodell said it is inevitable that the NFL will eventually have a team permanently based outside the United States.
The NFL expanding beyond US borders is a significant development in the sports world, and while it may seem unrelated to squash at first glance, it's actually a great example of how sports leagues are thinking globally. As the NFL looks to grow its fanbase and increase revenue, it's likely that other leagues will take note and consider similar expansion plans. For squash, which has a strong international following, this could mean new opportunities for growth and exposure.
The NFL's international ambitions are not new, with the league having played several regular-season games in London's Wembley Stadium and elsewhere in the UK. However, Goodell's comments suggest that the league is now thinking about a more permanent presence outside the US. This could have implications for other sports leagues, including professional squash, which has been working to increase its global reach through events like the PSA World Tour.
So what to watch next? The NFL's plans for international expansion will likely be closely watched by other sports leagues, including the Professional Squash Association (PSA). As the NFL explores new markets and revenue streams, the PSA may look to do the same, potentially through new events or partnerships with international governing bodies. Squash fans should keep an eye on any announcements from the PSA about new initiatives or partnerships that could help grow the sport globally.
