Travis Kelce<\/span>\u00a0has backtracked on his fury over the\u00a0Kansas<\/span>\u00a0City Chiefs starting the NFL season in Brazil, insisting he ‘can’t wait’ to play in the South American country.<\/p>\n

Before\u00a0the 2025 schedule was released in full<\/span>, Kelce confirmed to older brother Jason on their New Heights podcast last week that the Chiefs’ season opener was taking place in Brazil, something\u00a0he didn’t sound very happy about<\/span>.<\/p>\n

It was later revealed that they will be facing the\u00a0Los Angeles<\/span> Chargers at\u00a0Corinthians Arena in Sao Paulo.<\/p>\n

After pointing out that he’ll be playing football in the ‘f***ing heat’, the 35-year-old fumed:\u00a0‘There’s just something about getting close to the equator, I don’t want to put on football uniform. I’ve been in Jacksonville in September, that’s f***ing miserable.<\/p>\n

‘Sao Paulo, is that by the water? I’d rather it be dry than humid, I’m a sweaty guy. If it is humid, I am going to be miserable. But I am going to find a way to get a win.’<\/p>\n

Jason, whose former team the Philadelphia Eagles\u00a0<\/a><\/span>played in Brazil last season, also claimed that the field was ‘atrocious’ for their 2024 game against Green Bay Packers.<\/p>\n
