The Pittsburgh Steelers are seeking Irish nominations to become their International Fan of the Year. The NFL competition selects an outstanding international fan from each of the 32 NFL franchises and honours the winners at the NFL draft which will take place in Green Bay Wisconsin in 2025.
The International Fan of the Year title celebrates extraordinary fans globally who have inspired others with their passion for the game and have been a rallying force in support of their team across their family, friends and local community.
Each NFL team selects an International Fan of the Year from the countries the team is associated with through the NFL's Global Markets Programme. This year Irish Steelers fans can nominate themselves or someone else as the Steelers International Fan of the Year for the very first time. The Steelers will also seek nominations from Mexico and Germany as part of the competition.
Last year's Steelers winner was Juan Soto from Morelia Mexico who proudly made a pick for the Steelers in the 2024 NFL Draft.
"We know the passion that exists for American Football and for the Steelers in Ireland and we're looking forward to seeing International Fan of the Year entries from across the island over the coming months," said Dan Rooney, Steelers Director Business Development & Strategy. "It's an incredible opportunity for Steelers fans to be recognized for their support of the team and for one fan to attend the NFL Draft, which is one of the biggest events in our sport."
The submission window for the contest is now open and will remain open through 11:59 PM ET on November 15, 2024. All 32 international nominees will be announced on Feb. 24, 2025.
