While American football reigns as the dominant sport in North America, its influence is gradually spreading beyond the borders of the United States. The NFL has been scheduling games outside the US for several years in an effort to broaden its global appeal.
Now, a unique twist on American football has gained traction, particularly in Germany, where the sport is played not on traditional turf or grass, but on ice. This emerging sport combines all the rules of American football but takes place on icy surfaces.
A recent video showcasing a Super Bowl warm-up program in Germany has garnered attention online, with many expressing enthusiasm for the concept. Fans are beginning to advocate for this icy version of American football to be introduced in the US.

Although the game is not played on skates, it’s amusing to watch players grapple with the challenge of maintaining their footing on the ice.
