UK ambassador Peter Mandelson lobbying for Super Bowl to be played in Britain: 'We love it'

Peter Mandelson, the United Kingdom’s ambassador to the United States, thinks the Super Bowl should be held across the pond.

Mandelson said last week he has been lobbying since taking the role in February for the biggest sporting event in the U.S. to be hosted by the U.K.

"I’ve made a big pitch for the first Super Bowl outside the U.S. to take place in Britain," Mandelson told the Chicago Council on Global Affairs on Thursday, per C-SPAN.

"I want that Super Bowl in Britain. I don’t care when it takes place, but I want it announced during my time as ambassador. We love it, we love it."

The audience laughed at Mandelson’s remark, but he isn’t the only one back in his home country who wants to see the Super Bowl in the U.K.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan has also called for the Super Bowl to be hosted in his city, which he believes would solidify London as the "sporting capital of the world."

"The Super Bowl is really important for us," Khan said last year. "We have a number of American football games, and I want it to come here because we want American sports fans in Europe to come to London to watch them, not just go to America."
