Philadelphia Eagles offensive lineman Jordan Mailata has said it would be "pretty special" for an NFL game to be staged in his native Australia.
The NFL has rapidly been expanding its global reach in recent years, with the Eagles kicking off this season by playing in the league's first game in South America - in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
The first regular-season game in Spain has been confirmed for next season, while Berlin will also host its first game, taking the total of international games up to five for 2025.
The NFL has been investigating other potential hosts such as Australia, carrying out site visits to Melbourne and Sydney, and an announcement is expected this week from NFL commissioner Roger Goodell while he is in New Orleans for Super Bowl 59.
Mailata, whose team face the Kansas City Chiefs in Sunday's big game, said: "I would love that. But my father always said 'show me, don't tell me'. So until then, Uncle Roger, make it happen.
"It would feel amazing to bring the game Down Under for the growth of the sport but also for the opportunity to play in front of my friends and my family," he added. "To play at home would be pretty special to me."
Mailata, who is from Sydney, said he may have to ask 'Uncle Roger' to help get him tickets for all his family and friends as he would need "maybe half the stadium".
The former rugby league player, 27, also said "it feels great" that so many people will be watching back home in Australia on Sunday.
"To know that we're growing the fan base Down Under is pretty cool," he added. "I'm honoured, I really am."
