FIFA has moved towards ending decades of football tradition by reviewing the rules that block domestic league games being played in other countries.
However, fans are likely to object to their teams’ home matches potentially being moved thousands of miles away.
The United States and Saudi Arabia are expected to be willing to lure competitive games from top European countries, and FIFA recently agreed to withdraw from an ongoing court case in New York filed by promoter Relevant to challenge the policy.
Spanish league president Javier Tebas said in April that LaLiga was hopeful of playing games overseas.
“I don’t know when, but this time LaLiga will play official games abroad. I think it could be from the 2025-26 season,” Tebas told Expansión.
“An official game in the United States would strengthen our position in the North American market, which is the second [biggest] for LaLiga after Spain.
