NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has responded to concerns raised by San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan regarding the upcoming match in Australia.
The 49ers will face the Los Angeles Rams in Melbourne, marking the first NFL match in Australia and a significant step towards the league's global expansion.
Goodell acknowledged Shanahan's perspective, stating that such challenges are part of the game, but emphasized the bigger picture of growing the sport globally.
The NFL is committed to ensuring all support to the team during international travel, with Goodell noting that the league is working to 'make it a great experience for the team.'
The Melbourne game represents an important step for the NFL's global expansion, with Goodell stating that the league is investing in the market for the long term.
The match will be conducted at Melbourne Cricket Ground, one of the largest sporting venues in the world, and could shape the NFL's future footprint outside the United States.
