New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft is reportedly seeking an NFL game in Scotland after supporters known as the “Tartan Army” visited Boston during this year’s World Cup. Multiple outlets report that Kraft discussed the idea with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, describing a potential international matchup after the Scotland fan presence in Boston during group-stage play. The Boston Globe, as cited by The Hill, is among the outlets reporting that Kraft has brought the proposal to NFL leadership. Yahoo Sports adds that the idea is currently in an early stage of discussion. CBS Sports notes that the NFL has played games internationally in other countries but says no team has previously played in Scotland. While the reports describe Kraft’s interest and his communication with NFL officials, they do not indicate that a specific date, opponent, or venue has been approved. Overall, the information centers on Kraft’s suggestion and the NFL’s ongoing consideration rather than any confirmed plan.
