The Green Bay Packers will make history when they play the Philadelphia Eagles in São Paulo on Friday, Sept. 6.
GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers have been chosen to play in the NFL’s historic South America debut. They will battle the Philadelphia Eagles on Friday night, Sept. 6, in São Paulo, Brazil.
“With over 35 million passionate fans in Brazil, the Friday night 2024 regular season opener in São Paulo will bring an incredible energy – marking a historic moment for our sport internationally.”“We’re looking forward to being a part of this historic matchup against the Eagles in São Paulo,” Packers President and CEO Mark Murphy said. “We're excited to play in front of our devoted fans in Brazil and help build upon the international popularity of the NFL and the Packers.
“We’re either the first- or second-most popular team in Brazil. Apparently, they like green and gold,” Murphy said with a laugh. “I think New England might be ahead of us because of Tom Brady and Gisele but I think that’s a few years . I think we’re very popular there. As we talked about, we’re kind of the people’s team. People really like the idea of a community-owned team, with our history and tradition.
The game will match Packers quarterback Jordan Love against Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts. In a 2022 game in Philadelphia that was won by the Eagles, Love replaced an injured Aaron Rodgers and led the team to 10 points in two possessions. That game helped solidify the decision to trade Rodgers and move forward with Love.
