Excitements build for Historic NFL debut in Brazil amid green jersey ban

The game is going to be a landmark event, and both teams are equally excited. The Eagles, led by coach Nick Sirianni, are trying to keep their Brazil trip as close to a regular game routine as possible. They sent a scout team back in April and flew in a day earlier to adjust to the 9½-hour flight. “We get there; it’s going to be a one-hour difference. So we felt like the best thing to do was get there, get a good meal, get a good night’s sleep, and then hit the ground running on Thursday,” Sirianni explained.

Fans and analysts alike are thrilled about this game. Like Eagles’, Packers fans too are fired up. But there’s a twist! Thanks to local soccer team Corinthians’ deep-rooted rivalry with Palmeiras, anything green is banned at the NeoQuimica Arena. A Corinthians fan, Claudia Luane, explained, “We are fighting against relegation this year… But see all this crowd? I am sure the Packers have the same vibe.”

While the match promises to be thrilling, it’s also important to note the gang-related tensions in Brazil, particularly around the stadium areas. The teams are well aware, having educated their players on safety precautions. However, the excitement is undeniable, with analysts seeing this game as a stepping stone for NFL’s future in Brazil. All eyes are on Friday night for an unforgettable kickoff in São Paulo.
