Ireland to Host Historic NFL Game at Croke Park: Date and Opponent Announced Dublin, Ireland – The NFL is set to announce the details of this autumn's highly anticipated NFL game at Croke Park later today. The Pittsburgh Steelers will be the home team, but their opponent remains undisclosed. This event marks a significant milestone for Ireland, making it only the sixth country outside the United States to host a regular-season NFL game. Virgin Media News reporter Bernard O'Toole stated, "Today is a big day here at Dublin Castle because today is the day where we find out the opposition and also the date for this historic first ever NFL game to be played in Ireland later on this year." The game's significance extends beyond the sporting arena. The Irish government anticipates a substantial economic impact, estimating a €64 million boost and approximately 30,000 overseas visitors. Speculation is rife regarding the Steelers' opponent, with rumors circulating about potential matchups against the Minnesota Vikings or the Seattle Seahawks. The official announcement, including the game date, is expected later today on Virgin Media News. The event promises to be a resounding success, building on the positive experience of the 2023 College Classic held in Ireland.
