Barcelona’s La Liga clash with Villarreal in Miami is postponed

> “La Liga reports that, following discussions with the promoter of the Official La Liga Match in Miami, the latter has announced its decision to cancel the event due to the uncertainty surrounding Spain in recent weeks.

>

> “La Liga deeply regrets that this project, which represented a historic and unparalleled opportunity for the internationalization of Spanish football, cannot go ahead. Hosting an official match outside our borders would have been a decisive step in the global expansion of our competition, strengthening the international presence of the clubs, the positioning of the players, and the brand of Spanish football in a strategic market like the United States.

>

> “The project fully complied with federal regulations and did not affect the integrity of the competition, as confirmed by the competent institutions that oversee its implementation, which were opposed for other reasons.

>

> “In a context of increasing global competitiveness, where leagues like the Premier League and competitions like the UEFA Champions League continue to increase their reach and revenue-generating capacity, initiatives like this are essential to ensuring the sustainability and growth of Spanish football. Forgoing these types of opportunities hampers the generation of new revenue, limits clubs’ ability to invest and compete, and reduces the international reach of the entire Spanish football ecosystem.

>

> “Finally, La Liga would like to thank the clubs for their willingness and collaboration in this project, as well as their ongoing commitment to the growth of the competition. We will continue working, as always, to bring Spanish football to all corners of the world, championing an open, modern, and competitive vision that benefits clubs, players, and fans.”
