Amon-Ra St Brown to play in mother's home of Germany as Detroit set for NFL
Munich game
MUNICH (AP) --- Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown says a long-time
dream will come true after his team was confirmed to play in the NFL game in
Munch this year.
St. Brown's mother was born in Germany and his career has been closely followed
by the NFL's large German fan base.
"It has been a dream of mine to play a game in my mother's home country of
Germany since coming to the league," St. Brown said in a league statement on
Tuesday.
"I cannot wait to play in front of the incredible fans that I've gotten to know
through my visits and football camps in the country. Their support for me and
the country's instant connection to the Lions brand is inspiring, and I'm
looking forward to our team getting to showcase Detroit football on an
international scale."
Detroit's opponent will be confirmed later. The Munich game is part of a record
schedule of nine international games in 2026 including new host cities in
France, Australia and Brazil.
The NFL is heading back to Munich for its third game at a stadium better known
as the home of German soccer champion Bayern Munich. The city hosted the NFL's
first game in Germany in 2022 and another in 2024. Frankfurt and Berlin have
also hosted games.
