NFL clubs Wednesday approved at a league meeting in New York a resolution which extends the ability to play international regular-season games through 2025 and broadens the league's opportunity to play games in countries other than the United Kingdom. Nick Collison Jersey The decision expands upon the 2011 resolution which permitted the NFL to schedule international regular-season games in the UK through the 2016 season. "This marks an important step in our long-term international growth," said NFL Commi sioner Roger Goodell. "Fans in the UK have responded incredibly well to the regular-season games we have played in London since 2007. They have demanded more NFL games, and we have worked to accommodate them. We think it's time to expand our to other countries and respond to the growing interest in our game not only in the UK, but elsewhere around the world."The 2016 schedule of international regular-season games will be announced later this fall, with other countries in contention to host games next season in addition to the UK. Earlier this year, the NFL and the English Justin Jackson Jersey Premier League's Tottenham Hotspur franchise announced an agreement to play a minimum of two games per year during a 10-year partnership at Tottenham's new state-of-the-art stadium, due to open in the summer of 2018. Wembley Paul George Jersey Stadium, the site of 12 NFL games to date, including Sunday's contest between the and before a sellout crowd of 83,986, will host two more games this season the - game on October 25 and the - game on November 1. Wembley is expected to continue to host NFL games in future seasons. NFL owners approved a resolution in 2006 to present up to two international regular-season games per season from 2007-2011. The 2011 resolution was UK-focused and permitted the NFL the flexibility to decide the number of UK games from year to year. Today's vote ensures a continuation of international regular-season games through the 2025 season and expands the league's ability to play those games in countries and territories beyond the UK. Since introducing games in 2007, the NFL has achieved accelerated growth in the UK.
