A few groups had inconvenience discovering home stadiums to play in, and the season was frequently given the ax by the FIFA World Cup which utilized a few of the stadiums.
In 2007 the NFL Europe was formally disbanded. NFL official Roger Goodell expressed that that it was the “best business choice”, as the alliance had reported misfortunes close to 30 million dollars for every season. Goodell thanked fans for their backing of the attempt, yet expressed that the NFL might require an alternate approach to take advantage of the universal market, and create new players.
Since the end of NFL Europe the NFL has made restricted endeavors to take advantage of the European market. A solitary standard season diversion is played in London consistently, and there has been some exchange of facilitating a Super Bowl in London. The NFL still plans to discover somehow to get to the European market, how that will be carried out has up in the air.
