In the last two days, during the annual league gathering, the possible confrontation has been debated.
Several league insiders have informed the outlet that the former Super Bowl winners, now dethroned champs, are the top pick to represent the South American country.
The sources indicated that both the Chiefs and Chargers are open to the possibility of facing each other in the first week for an AFC West clash. This mirrors what happened last season.

When it comes to participating in international matches, we’re ready to step up whenever the chance arises,” stated Chiefs owner Clark Hunt on Monday. “We don’t have much say in the matter, but occasionally, based on the NFL’s rotational schedule for which teams will play abroad, we might get to host as the home team.
We inform the league each year that we would greatly enjoy participating in an international match, regardless of whether we’re playing as the home team or the away team. We hope that eventually they will choose to include us again.
In addition to their international matches, the Chiefs have asked the NFL to schedule them for a Christmas Day game, as per a source.
Over the last two seasons, Kansas City has taken part in games on Christmas Day and aspires to become a regular fixture of the holiday schedule, similar to how the Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys are consistent participants on Thanksgiving.
According to sources cited by The Athletic, the Chiefs are anticipated to participate in a game scheduled for December 25th. Following their match against the Steelers on Christmas last year, which attracted an audience of 24.1 million viewers via Netflix and local CBS affiliates, this upcoming event could generate similar interest.
Hunt further mentioned that the Chiefs would include one international match and one seasonal fixture during holidays each year to expand their brand presence.
Well, our aim is to become the global squad,” Hunt stated. “This begins with establishing ourselves as one of the premier teams within the United States. This achievement reflects well on our players and their distinct personalities, along with the consistent success we’ve enjoyed over the past six years. We’ve seen exceptionally strong viewership numbers every time we compete.
‘We’ve got some particularly dedicated fans of Swift who contribute significantly to boosting these figures too.’
