Who will be the opponent?

Competing against the Indianapolis Colts 2025 as the Designated Home Team in Berlin will be the Atlanta Falcons, who entered the NFL in 1965 and whose greatest successes were their appearances in Super Bowl XXXIII in Miami and Super Bowl LI in Houston.

Won the Super Bowl twice

The Indianapolis Colts have already won the silver, 3.5kg Vince Lombardi Trophy twice in their history and won the Super Bowl: 

In 1971, incidentally then still as the "Baltimore Colts", in 2007 they then won with the unforgettable quarterback Peyton Manning.

Incidentally, the NFL team has a special connection with Germany: The German star of American football Björn Werner played in the Colts team from 2013 to 2016 - first at the position of defence end, then at the position of outside linebacker. He played a total of 16 regular season games with the Indianapolis Colts . Werner's 18 tackles and 2.5 sacks helped the Colts win their division 11-5 that season and reach the playoffs.
