Raiders International

The Raiders maintain a global presence and communicate with the worldwide Raider Nation through the team's official web properties which feature original and translated content in six different languages - Tagalog, Japanese, German, Chinese, Spanish and English.

The Raiders became the first and only NFL team to produce a full-service Spanish-language web site. During the 2004 regular season, the Raiders became the first team to offer original content in German with the launch of Raiders auf Deutsch.

In June of 2011, Raiderette director and Raiders.com personality Jeanette Thompson, Hall of Famer Willie Brown and six Raiderettes traveled to Innsbruck, Austria, to support the Austrian Football League's SWARCO Raiders in their quest for the Eurobowl title.

Training Camp 2012 marked the eighth year in a row for the Raiders International Guest Coach Program. Mario Rinner and Florian Grein of the Austrian Football League's SWARCO Raiders were afforded the opportunity to learn the organization, drills, schedule and practice regimen first-hand at the Raiders Napa Valley Training Complex.

During the Raiders 2012 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Raiders held their 11th Annual Fiesta Latina. 

In 2008, the Raiders had an international player in training camp as defensive tackle Mauricio Lopez spent the entire 2008 season with the Silver and Black as part of the NFL International Practice Squad Program. Lopez, a Mexico City native, spent three seasons playing in NFL Europa. Defensive tackle Michael Quarshie of Finland spent the 2005 season with the Raiders as part of the program.

The Raiders have long been recognized as a global organization and has increased the league's popularity worldwide by playing in American Bowls in London, Barcelona, Tokyo and Mexico City.

The Silver and Black broadcast their games via Spanish-language radio on Univision Radio.
