LaLiga intends for the match between Barça and Atlético de Madrid, which corresponds to matchday 18 of the championship and which will take place on December 21 or 22, to be played in Miami. As it has progressed The Countrythis idea is part of the desire of the organization chaired by Javier Tebas to internationalize the product and reach other markets.
Thus, an idea is recovered that was already attempted in the past but failed. In 2018, an attempt was made to move the match between Barcelona and Girona to the American city; and a year later the same was sought with an Atlético-Villarreal. At that time the project did not come together due to the opposition of FIFA, UEFA and the RFEF to moving a league match to the United States.
Apparently, the request to FIFA for the match between the culé team and the colchoneros to take place at the Hard Rock stadium in Miami has already been registered. Specifically, the company Relevent, a producer of sporting events, would have done it.
LaLiga is more optimistic that this initiative will now prosper. The fact that UEFA president Alexander Ceferin opened the door to holding the Champions League final in the United States after 2026 is something that works in his favor. On the other hand, what the Royal Spanish Football Federation says will be key, although it is now immersed in an interim period.
