Frankfurt's Mayor, Mike Josef (SPD), views the forthcoming NFL games as a "terrific occasion." These events, as he stated at the Sports Press Ball on Saturday evening, serve to characterize Frankfurt as a "sports city." While keeping his team preferences under wraps, he expressed eagerness for both the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs and the Miami Dolphins, slated for a 3:30 pm match on RTL and DAZN on Sunday.
What particularly piques the mayor's interest is none other than Patrick Mahomes, the phenomenal quarterback of the Chiefs. "I'm genuinely thrilled about Mahomes," said Josef with a gleam in his eye.
Rumors of pop diva Taylor Swift gracing the event haven't missed his radar. However, Josef dismisses the notion that her presence would make or break the NFL games. Instead, he hopes for a lasting partnership between Frankfurt and the NFL, aspiring to foster flag football and a future of NFL engagements.
With the NFL return to Munich scheduled for the following year, Frankfurt will once again host the league in 2025. Josef highlighted the importance of a sustainable relationship with the NFL, ensuring a prolonged and mutually beneficial cooperation.
While there's no explicit mention of Patrick Mahomes' Frankfurt fervor in existing sources, the growing international search trends warrant notice. Brazil, in particular, has exhibited a consistent surge in interest in the NFL since 2004, with topics such as Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs being top trends[1].
The NFL's expansion into international locations goes hand in hand with this growing interest, evident in the Eagles and Packers' upcoming games in Brazil this September[1]. As for specific details on Frankfurt's NFL plans, one would have to turn to relevant press releases or official NFL announcements.
