Study reveals that the Kansas City Chiefs have a strong following in Iceland
If you had to pick one European nation that has the strongest support for the Chiefs, would Iceland have even made your top five? Or top 10?
But according to a study, the “land of fire and ice” supports the Chiefs over any other NFL team.
Time2play says it analyzed search-engine information for 33 European nations over the past year from a company called Ahrefs. That search information was used to determine which NFL teams garner the most and second-most interest in each European country.
In addition to being big in Iceland, the Chiefs were second to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in France, Switzerland and Finland.
So why the support in Iceland? It could be because Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes visited in 2017. He shared photos from the trip on Instagram at the time.
A fan in Iceland once called Mahomes “the son in law of the town of Mosfellsbær.”
