According to World Sports, on September 11, UEFA will hold a meeting to discuss the request of Barcelona to host the game overseas against Villarreal
UEFA Executive Committee will soon discuss the proposal to move to the United States for La Liga. On September 11, the UEFA Executive Committee will hold a meeting in Albania to discuss the request made by the Spanish Football Association to move the 17th round of La Liga between Villarreal and Barcelona to Miami on December 20. Two weeks ago, the Spanish Football Association had handed over the request from the La Liga and the two clubs to UEFA.
It is understood that compared with Italy, domestic Spanish clubs have more opposition to this proposal (for example, Real Madrid has issued a strong opposition statement). No one in Italy publicly opposed AC Milan's match against Como to be removed to Perth, Australia on February 6.
As for Villarreal's match against Barcelona in the United States, UEFA is evaluating its legal feasibility and realizing that it would set an important precedent if the proposal was approved. In addition, joint opposition from European fans and captains of 42 La Liga and Spanish League teams need to be considered.
On Wednesday, EU Sports Commissioner Glenn Mikaref said: "European events should be held in Europe." In response, La Liga President Tebas responded that Villarreal's match against Barcelona is only one of the 380 games in the 2025/2026 season. Even if UEFA agrees, the final decision still belongs to FIFA.
