Atlético Madrid star Antoine Griezmann will host a new Spanish-language YouTube show covering the latest news in NFL.

The 32-year-old is a keen fan of American football and will feature in a new Mundo NFL program called ‘NFL’s Grizi Huddle’. It will feature highlights, interviews with NFL players, analysis and predictions, all hosted by the Atléti forward and NFL commentator Rubén Ibeas.

The Frenchman explained: “I am a huge NFL fan, so being able to partner with the league on a new program for other Spanish-speaking American football fans is a dream come true.”

We’re going to put on a show that both new and existing fans will be proud of, so be sure to tune in on YouTube to get my take on all the action,” he said.

The new Mundo NFL show will build on a previous independent podcast called ‘Grizi Huddle’, which also featured the Frenchman and Ibeas.

Griezmann can boost global interest in NFL

He may be one of the most talented soccer players in the world, but Griezmann has a long-standing interest in NFL and other American sports. Last year he served as a guest commentator for Spanish broadcaster Movistar, taking part in their coverage of a game between the Buffalo Bills and the Cincinnati Bengals. The French World Cup winner has also appeared on Spanish-language NFL podcast ‘Los Fantasticos’ in the past.

Marissa Solis, senior vice president of brand and consumer marketing at the NFL, said that Griezmann’s involvement in the new project would help the league to attract new supporters around the world.

”We are thrilled to partner with Antoine for the ‘NFL’s Grizi Huddle’ program. Working with a star as renowned as Antoine, a true fan of our sport, helps us connect with our fans on a new level,” she said.

“An important priority for Mundo NFL is to create content that is both exciting and relevant to our fans,” she added.

NFL’s Grizi Huddle will air weekly on the Mundo NFL YouTube channel.
