The game will be San Francisco’s first international game since they beat the Jaguars in London 42-10 nine years ago.

The 49ers and Cardinals played the NFL’s first regular season game outside of America in Mexico City back in 2005. That one was also played at Estadio Azteca, and set the NFL’s regular season attendance record with 103,467 fans.
