President of La Liga Javier Tebas officially confirmed that the current Spanish division is deprived of the idea of \u200b\u200bholding matches in the regular championship on the other side of the Atlantic. Regardless of the significant support on the side of patients, citizens and football institutions, the dream about official Spanish fights on American soil is still alive. The Spanish League has repeatedly tried to enter the American market.

The plan to hold a match between Barcelona and Villarreal at the Hard Rock Stadium near Miami in the past has been a major failure.. The initiative stemmed from the early praise of UEFA and the Spanish Football Federation, but the current plan had to be negotiated through the mischief and protests of the Gravians, as well as the time for proper organization.

Earlier, in 2019, a similar test was blocked by FIFA. Responding to criticism that moving home games thousands of kilometers violates the sporting principle and fairness of the tournament, Tebas noted that the scale of the problem has significantly increased:.

We'll try again. I don’t sing, if I myself, but we can raise the price at the listening hour. I don't think it's a bad idea. There is one more match out of 380 this season,” the president said at the Financial Times Business of Football summit.

You will continue to inherit the global models of the NFL (American football) and NBA (basketball), which have long been successfully exporting their regular matches to Europe and other parts of the world in order to expand the brand and capture the top ones.

A La Liga official pointed out the paradox: Europeans are eager to embrace American sports and culture, while European football officials are eager to export the product:.

" We have NFL and NBA matches. It’s amazing that in 50 years our stadiums will not be disturbed, and the NBA and NFL arenas will be refilled. They don't just bring one game - they come to win fans, sign TV contracts, entice children with their tricks. In other words, we opened the doors to Europe for them. The fact that the received states are opening doors for us, and we ourselves are opening them here in Europe. "

La Liga's meta is losing its permanent position: gaining a younger audience in the US and ensuring that Spanish clubs lose their dominant force in the lighting market at the turn of the decade.
