MEXICO CITY (AP) - The NFL said the Nov. 21 Monday night game in Mexico City between the Oakland Raiders and the Houston Texans sold out within minutes.
A league statement said tickets went on sale Thursday and were gone within a half-hour.
Mexico is one of the few countries outside of the U.S. with a large fan base for American football. League officials have said it's their biggest foreign market.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said in the statement the rapid sellout "further confirms what a passionate fan base we have in Mexico."
The game at the cavernous Azteca stadium will mark the league's return to Mexico for the first time since the San Francisco 49ers and the Arizona Cardinals played there in 2005.
