The German Bundesliga has signed on to play friendlies in the US: https://www.forbes.com/sites/manuel...ant-to-help-expansion-on-important-us-market/ This summer, RB Leipzig and Eintracht Frankfurt traveled to the United States. Relevent has significant experience marketing club tours in the United States, in particular, working together closely with the Premier League. The Bundesliga hopes to benefit from that experience as well and going forward has mapped out a strategy that will see a greater presence of German club teams in the Americas. BL officials were asked about the possibility of competitive matches coming to the US: “I respect the La Liga approach but it would be more difficult in Germany,” Merkel said. “While I see the benefits from a marketing point of view, our focus must be on things that are realistic. And that’s my perspective at the moment — not competitive games, but rather bringing more clubs to the U.S. consistently before a season and focusing on this in the first step.” Politically, it would be almost impossible to stage a regular-season Bundesliga game outside Germany. It could not happen without a DFL vote and, because club officials are accountable to supporters, any club voting to take games away from their home region would plunge into civil war. Christian Seifert, the DFL’s previous chief executive, promised that matches overseas would “never, ever” happen, speaking at a 2018 event in Frankfurt.
I feel like Riverhounds Stadium would be thx perfect size for a friendly between RB Leipzig and Frankfurt.
