Daily Sports reported that Barcelona vs. Villarreal's overseas La Liga match will bring generous returns, and each is expected to earn between 5 million and 6 million euros.
UEFA has officially approved the 17th round of La Liga Villarreal's home match against Barcelona to Miami, USA, and the game will be held at Hard Rock Stadium on December 21.
Despite the opposition, Villarreal expressed strong support. Club CEO Fernando Roiger believes the move is financially beneficial and made a compelling remark: "If we don't play in Miami, maybe there will be no football in Villarreal (the city) in a few years."
To compensate home fans, Villarreal announced a generous plan: The club will provide free itinerary and tickets for all season ticket holders willing to travel to Miami. For fans who cannot go, the club promises to refund 20% of their season ticket fees this season.
