La Liga President Javier Tebas spoke with ESPN at the World Football Summit, noting that details are already “almost completed”. The match may take place at the Hard Rock Stadium near Miami.

This will become the first fall in Europe, if the match of one of the five championships (La Liga, Premier League, Serie A, Bundesliga, League 1) is played between the two sides.

Sides' thoughts and reactions:.

The President of Villarreal, Fernando Roig, having learned that the transfer of season tickets to owners of season tickets has been transferred, the club has ordered compensation..

Barcelona President Joan Laporta expressed satisfaction with the possibility of getting closer to fans in the United States, adding that this is a strategically important market for the club.

The Association of Spanish Citizens (AFE) condemned this project and planned a meeting with representatives of La Liga, Barcelona and Villarreal, who voted that such a project would require the harmonization of all parties involved,.

Frenkie De Jong stated that he does not support the idea: “I understand that financial clubs can gain and expand the brand, but for the players it is not fair: it is more expensive, and it changes the nature of the match.”.

Real Madrid has also taken a pro-position position, firmly asserting that the game behind the borders of Spain “prevents confusion”.
