NFL Experience Barcelona to be held at RCDE Stadium
RCD Espanyol collaborate with the National Football League on October 4th
The National Football League and RCD Espanyol are teaming up to host "NFL Experience Barcelona" on Sunday, October 4th, an event combining live NFL action with fan activities. The game featuring the New York Jets visiting the Chicago Bears will headline this official watch party at the RCDE Stadium, starting at 5:30pm.
NFL Experience Barcelona offers fans the chance to enjoy an NFL game day together and experience the traditions surrounding the sport. In collaboration with RCD Espanyol, the event will bring together both longtime followers and newcomers interested in the sport and the various ways to watch it from Spain, where games are available weekly via free-to-air broadcasts and at fan-friendly start times.
To attend NFL Experience Barcelona, fans must register via the official NFL OnePass app and select the Barcelona event option.
In addition to watching the New York Jets play at the Chicago Bears' home stadium -the Bears being one of the NFL clubs participating in the Global Markets Program in Spain- fans can take part in pass challenges, pose for photos at themed stations, and enjoy a tailgate zone.
"We want fans in Barcelona to enjoy the NFL in a unique atmosphere and experience firsthand everything that surrounds our games," said Rafa de los Santos, Director of NFL Spain.
"Collaborating with RCD Espanyol allows us to bring this experience closer to home and share it with a fanbase that has a rich sporting tradition. Following the success of the inaugural NFL Experience in Seville, we look forward to connecting with even more fans in other Spanish cities."
Mao Ye, CEO of RCD Espanyol, commented: “We are thrilled to open the doors of RCDE Stadium to the NFL Experience Barcelona. We want the stadium to be a meeting point for sports fans and for more and more people to enjoy special experiences here. This event will allow us to share a different way of enjoying a great game with the fans in Barcelona.”
Barcelona is a new stop for the NFL Experience programme, through which the league continues to expand its points of contact with fans in Spain. Upcoming events are planned in other cities across the country throughout the season.
