A historical change is looming in Spanish football. The match between Villarreal and FC Barcelona, scheduled for December 20, could take place at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, a decision that would mark before and after in Laliga.
The Board of Directors of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) is preparing to debate this proposal which, if it was approved, will open the door to the celebration of championship matches outside the borders of Spain.

This turn of events is possible thanks to the recent modification of FIFA regulations, which now allows you to play the league championship matches abroad. A longtime dream of Javier Tebas, president of Laliga, who, in the past, faced the opposition of the RFEF and regulations. Now, with the support of the new regulations and a more open -minded table, the idea seems more feasible than ever.
If we give it the green light, the RFEF will initiate the procedure to obtain the necessary permits of UEFA, Concacaf and FIFA. However, this ambitious plan is not without obstacles. The AFE (Association of Spanish footballers) has already expressed its disagreement, which could generate tensions.
If everything is moving forward without setbacks, the last day of the day of 2025 will have a particular flavor, with a match in the United States and the subsequent supercopa in Saudi Arabia. The globalization of Laliga continues its course, demonstrating that the geographic limits in elite football are becoming more and more vague.
