Top Football League Eyes Transatlantic Matchup
The president of Spain’s top football division has announced plans to stage a competitive league game in Miami next season, pending an agreement with the country’s football governing body. This development comes after a previous attempt to host a match between two Spanish teams in Miami was met with opposition from the governing body and international football authorities.
The recent resolution of a lawsuit involving a sports marketing company has reopened the door for regular season matches to be played outside of Spain. According to the league president, the only obstacle remaining is reaching an agreement with the Spanish football federation, which is currently without a president.
The push for an overseas match comes at a time when the football calendar is under intense scrutiny. Players are threatening to go on strike due to the increasing number of fixtures, and the announcement of an expanded international club competition has added to the tension. The league president has spoken out against the new competition, citing concerns over player fatigue.
However, he believes that a well-planned match in Miami could be a success, as long as the scheduling allows for adequate rest time for the players. The city of Miami is seen as an attractive destination for Spanish football, and the league president is confident that a deal can be reached to make it happen next season.
