Encountered many objections! Official: Barcelona’s overseas game against Huang Qian in Miami canceled

Official news, Barcelona’s overseas game in Miami against Villarreal has been cancelled.

La Liga issued a statement saying that after consultation with the organizers of the Miami official league event, in view of the uncertainty that has arisen in Spain in the past few weeks, the organizers have decided to cancel the organization of this event.

La Liga deeply regrets this. This project was an unprecedented and important opportunity in the internationalization process of Spanish football. Hosting official leagues overseas would have been a decisive step in the global expansion of our competition, which would effectively strengthen the club's international influence, enhance player visibility, and consolidate the Spanish football brand's position in the strategic market of the United States.

This project fully complies with the rules and regulations of the Football Association and has been confirmed by the regulatory agency to not affect the integrity of the event. The current obstruction arises only from objections in other special circumstances.

In the context of increasingly fierce global competition, as the Premier League and the Champions League continue to expand their influence and revenue-generating capabilities, such innovative measures are crucial to ensuring the sustainable development of Spanish football. Forgoing such opportunities would hinder the development of new revenue streams, limit clubs’ investment and competitiveness, and reduce the international impact of the entire national football ecosystem.

Finally, La Liga would like to express its gratitude to all clubs for their active cooperation in this project and their continued commitment to the development of the event. We will continue to adhere to the concepts of openness, modernity and competitiveness, strive to promote Spanish football to every corner of the world, and create more value for clubs, players and fans.

La Liga previously announced that Barcelona's away game against Villarreal would be held in Miami. However, this move was opposed by the players of the La Liga teams and the players' union. La Liga teams also held protests in this round of the league. Corbe Radio stated that after the cancellation of the La Liga overseas game in Miami, Villarreal and Barcelona will be held at the Estadio El Estadio.
