 The National Football League (NFL) is celebrating 10 years of American football in Great Britain with an impressive spike in figures, says James Massing of the NFL UK.

Massing recently returned from a visit to Israel where the NFL is scouting the latest sports technology developments as well as commercial partners looking at sport for marketing activities.

As the only professional US sports league to operate multiple regular season games in the UK, the NFL reaches millions of British fans each week via Sky Sports and the BBC, as well as Facebook, Twitter and other social media outlets.

With its emphasis on innovation, the NFL is eager to harness the leading edge technologies offered by Israel’s sports-tech sector. For example, NFL stadiums are equipped with 38 5K ultrahigh-definition cameras to capture plays from every angle and create enhanced 360-degree highlights and player perspectives.
