For their first-ever NFL game in Brazil, the Philadelphia Eagles will don an unprecedented black and white uniform combination, setting aside their traditional green attire. The team announced the exciting news on their social media platforms. The highly anticipated clash against the Green Bay Packers will take place in São Paulo’s Neo Química Arena, home of the Corinthians football club, on September 6th. The game will be broadcast on Disney+, marking a historic milestone for the NFL in Brazil. The Eagles will be sporting a black helmet and shorts, paired with a white jersey. The excitement surrounding this game has reached fever pitch with fans eagerly awaiting the spectacle. With both teams predominantly sporting green in their uniforms, the NFL community was curious about the attire they would choose for the historic event. The Neo Química Arena will undergo significant preparations for the game, potentially taking up to six weeks. The NFL aims to accommodate a crowd of 50,000 spectators, exceeding the stadium’s regular capacity of 48,000. This will involve the use of temporary seating, reminiscent of the 2014 World Cup, but on a smaller scale. The field will also require an expansion to comfortably accommodate the end zones and technical areas. Beyond these visible modifications, adjustments are necessary in the locker rooms to accommodate the influx of players, coaches, and staff, with approximately 100 people expected to use each team’s designated space. Tickets for the Eagles-Packers matchup, which will be broadcast on Disney+, were sold out as early as June.
