American Football team Atlanta Falcons may have some problems getting to London for a match at Wembley, if this infographic is anything to go by.

The team are flying to the capital this week to play against the Detroit Lions on October 26.

But a map, designed to show fans how the team are getting to London, appears to be taking them in the entirely wrong direction.

The directions look like they want to send their players to sunnier climates in Spain, while Scotland appears to be completely misshaped.

It comes after George Osborne held talks with the NFL about basing an American Football team at Wembley, but it seems they still have a lot to learn about London.

The team seem to have noticed the mishap and have since posted a correct version on their website.
