“The road to Germany is a very big and important story for the NFL as a whole and for us at the Chiefs too. We didn’t secure the marketing rights to do a little bit here and there. Germany is extremely important to us,” Hunt told Internet provider Spox.
The NFL had announced that Munich would share four main round games in the world’s best football league with Frankfurt over the next four years. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers with quarterback superstar Tom Brady are already set as one of the two teams for the first NFL game in Germany this fall.
Cooperation with FC Bayern
Whether the Chiefs are also there is still open. “If it’s not that far this year, then definitely next year. We don’t know yet ourselves. Patrick Mahomes is really looking forward to coming to Germany. See you soon, that’s my message to all fans in Germany,” said Hunt.
Hunt, for whom Bayern legend Franz Beckenbauer was one of his first great sports heroes, is also happy regarding the cooperation with FC Bayern Munich. »It is an incredible joy and experience for me. It doesn’t matter whether it’s Franz Beckenbauer, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge or Uli Hoeneß, they are all such great personalities with so much know-how,” said Hunt. They made sure that FC Bayern “remains one big family” despite its rise to become a big club in the world. Whether players, coaches or employees, everyone feels part of the Bayern family. This approach unites us, it’s also very important to us at the Chiefs.«
