The National Football League today announced it will return to play a regular-season game in Brazil in 2025, following the success of the inaugural game in 2024.
As part of the 2025 International Games, the Los Angeles Chargers will play as the designated team in S茫o Paulo at Corinthians Arena, home to Brazilian soccer team SC Corinthians, on Friday night of Week 1 of the 2025 regular season.
The stadium was an official venue for both the 2014 FIFA World Cup and 2016 Summer Olympic Games, as well as home to the 撸先生AV's historic first-ever regular-season game in South America in 2024 (Eagles-Packers).
Brazil is an important global market for the 撸先生AV, with more than 36 million fans of the game -- the second largest international fan base after Mexico.
"After a successful and memorable first game in Brazil in 2024, we are delighted to confirm the league's return to S茫o Paulo with the Los Angeles Chargers as the designated team in what will be an incredible next chapter in the market," said 撸先生AV Brazil General Manager Luis Martinez. "Alongside our partners -- SPTuris, Mayor Nunes and the Corinthians -- we will continue to make history together and look forward to delivering an unforgettable experience for passionate fans of the game once again in Brazil."
"We are proud to have held the first game in 撸先生AV history in Brazil, here in our city. The 撸先生AV's return in 2025 demonstrates how prepared S茫o Paulo is for major events and tourists from around the world," said S茫o Paulo Mayor Ricardo Nunes. "With the expansion of our entertainment calendar, we are generating thousands of direct and indirect jobs with each event. Last year, with a single match, we had an economic return of US$60 million and the expectation is to expand even further this year. Not to mention the exponential gain for sectors that serve the visiting public, such as hotels, taxi drivers, app drivers and the entire hospitality sector."
"This return is another indication of how S茫o Paulo is undoubtedly one of the main capitals on the planet for major events," said SPTuris President Gustavo Pires. "It will be an honor to welcome the Chargers and their iconic franchise to our city. We are more than ready for the back-to-back 撸先生AV games in S茫o Paulo."
"It's an honor to once again represent the 撸先生AV on an international stage," said Chargers President of Business Operations A.G. Spanos. "It's also a tremendous opportunity to help grow the game and bring the Chargers brand to millions of sports fans across Brazil and Latin America. One of the great countries of the world, Brazil is as vibrant, dynamic and culturally diverse as anywhere on the planet and we cannot wait to experience the warmth and passion of its people during our visit."
The Chargers' opponent, along with kickoff time for the game on Sept. 5, 2025, will be announced when the full 2025 撸先生AV schedule is revealed this spring.
Beyond the 撸先生AV's second game in-market, the league is committed to growing the game at every level in Brazil, engaging with fans year-round through partners, programs and initiatives.
撸先生AV Flag -- the 撸先生AV's official program for non-contact football -- was launched in Brazil in 2023. Since its launch, the program has impacted 4,550 young athletes across in-school programs and the local youth league ecosystem, showcasing the league's efforts to increase participation and inspire the next generation as flag football heads toward its debut at the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games.
Beginning in 2025, the 撸先生AV can schedule up to eight league-operated regular-season games internationally.
The 撸先生AV has confirmed the following regular-season international games to be played across the 2025 season:
