That's not true.
There are fans of several college football schools all over germany, since 30+ years.
Notre Dame did several alumni games against top level teams inside Germany in the past.
And a German network is doing their best to broadcast every Saturday 2 games, with their best speakers, including Björn Werner, former Colts and Seminoles DL.

The PAC-12 is trying to establish a brand in Australia and streams their games for free on the continent.

And that's just the stuff I did recognise over the years.
I'm sure there is much more.

Sure it's not comparable with NFL figures, still it's there.

Cool...I didn't know that.

Actually, there have been a handful of very successful Australian punters in college football.

Thanks,

I don't think they plan to travel necessarily to those locations - - I think they are pushing team merchandise to those various countries.

Just curious - if you live outside the states, what teams are popular in your country and why?

I know there are three or four teams that are most popular in Mexico - - largely because they are in the American southwest and therefore close to the border.

Here in Spain the most popular clothes I've seen (but most people have no idea what they are) is the Raiders.

I was hoping they would go to Madrid too (even if I'm in Barcelona, depending on teams I would have gone!)

Real Madrid (soccer team) is building a new stadium, and they are preparing it for all kinds of events.

The most famous/best player I've seen live is Kurt Warner with the Amsterdam Admirals when they beat the Barcelona Dragons 28-41 (Saw a few of them Barcelona Dragons games).

Delhomme was the backup QB for them Admirals

So does Canadian football get broadcast anywhere else?

I've seen it on US television, but does it have any appeal outside of North American?

Honesty, I don't care, since Munich is far far away from my house.
But if I would have to guess, take the last few superbowl winners and then some teams popular in the 90s like Cowboys, 49ers, Steeler and Packers.

There might be some streaming options, but in Germany Canadian Football is almost non-existing.
I think the Grey-Cup was or is sometimes broadcasted, but only on some minor sport channels.

It's not on main stream TV in the UK. Maybe subscription services offer it but it's going to be very niche.
