British Government Wants An NFL Team In London
LONDON (AP) - The British government wants an NFL team based in London.
George Osborne, the British treasury chief, told the Evening Standard newspaper on Wednesday that the government will do whatever it can "to make this happen."
The NFL has been playing regular-season games at Wembley Stadium every year since 2007, and this season there are three games on the schedule.
The NFL says it welcomes Osborne's comments and his "strong support for the possibility of an NFL team in London."
Detroit and Atlanta will play Sunday at Wembley, the home of England's national soccer team. Last month, the Miami Dolphins beats the Oakland Raiders 38-14, and next month, the Dallas Cowboys will face the Jacksonville Jaguars.
