Pittsburgh Steelers Set for Historic Game in Dublin
The Pittsburgh Steelers are gearing up for a historic matchup as they prepare to play in Dublin, Ireland, during the upcoming NFL season. Details of the game will be unveiled on Tuesday morning during the NFL’s Good Morning Football program. This marks the Steelers’ first international regular season game in Dublin, following their preseason appearance there in 1997.
Sources indicate that the game is expected to occur on September 28, coinciding with Week 4 of the NFL season. The Steelers will be playing at Croke Park, further solidifying their ties to Ireland, a significant area for the Rooney family. The late Dan Rooney, former team president, served as Ambassador to Ireland under President Barack Obama, strengthening the franchise’s connection to the country.
It’s been a decade since the Steelers last played an international game, which occurred in 2013 against the Minnesota Vikings in London. Team president Art Rooney II expressed enthusiasm about the upcoming match, highlighting its importance to the organization.
Head Coach Mike Tomlin shared his excitement, reflecting on the legacy of Ambassador Rooney and the honor of representing the team and the United States overseas. "It’s an honor to represent our game and our country over there, and I look forward to doing so,” Tomlin said.
In addition to Ireland, the Steelers have international marketing rights in Germany and Mexico, suggesting that more international games could be on the horizon for the team. The complete NFL schedule will be released on May 14, making fans eagerly anticipate the full details of the Steelers’ international journey.
