March 1 - NFL and NBA teams will play in Beijing this August and October respectively1, said Sun Kanglin, Director of the Beijing Sports Bureau2 in a news conference Wednesday.

 

According to China Daily, the NFL will feature its debut3 around August 8 this year, marking the one-year countdown to the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. As the No. 1 sport in the US, American-style football has yet to become popular in the Middle Kingdom.

 

Two NBA teams will return to Beijing this October. "The NBA pre-season game will be played in the Olympic Basketball Stadium if the project can be finished on time. Otherwise it can be played in the Workers' Stadium," said Sun.

 

When asked which teams will play in Beijing, Sun said both the NFL and the NBA will send their best. According the Houston Chronicle, the NBA will likely send Orlando Magic and Cleveland Cavaliers to China, instead of the Houston Rockets, where Yao Ming plays as the starting center.
