The NFL announced on Friday that the Dolphins will be the designated home team for a game in Spain as part of the 2025 International Games.
The Dolphins’ game will be played at Bernabéu Stadium, the home of the iconic Spanish soccer team Real Madrid C.F. The game will be played in partnership with the city of Madrid and Comunidad de Madrid.
“The exciting first-ever game in Spain underlines the NFL’s continued commitment to expanding its global footprint and reaching new audiences across the world,” said head of Europe and APAC at the NFL Brett Gosper in a statement. “The Miami Dolphins playing at the Bernabéu Stadium, home to Real Madrid C.F., showcases the global appeal of the league and of our sport, in what promises to be a historic moment.”
“We are thrilled to play the NFL’s inaugural game in Spain, a country of rich history, tradition and passion and home to a vibrant Dolphins fanbase,” said Miami Dolphins vice chairman, president and CEO Tom Garfinkel. “There is a hunger for football in this market, and we are proud to join with the NFL in growing the game internationally while engaging with old and new fans alike.
“With the unique synergy between Miami and Madrid, we believe this is only the beginning for us in this incredible region and we look forward to bringing the excitement and community of Dolphins football to Spain in 2025 and beyond.”
Details concerning the game — including the Dolphins’ opponent, kickoff time, and date — will be announced this spring.
