Trio of Wembley games sell out as NFL chief reveals UK franchise looms nearer.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell confirmed  this week, that the three NFL International Series games at Wembley are completely sold out.

Speaking at his annual address ahead of Super Bowl XLVIII, Goodell also admitted that London is ‘further down the road’ to having a permanent team.

‘I believe that the response to the third game in the UK, and the way that the fans have embraced that, sold that out in such a short period of time is just another indication that the more we give fans in the UK, of NFL football, the more they want,’ said Goodell. 

‘That's a great tribute to the fans there, and their passion.’
