FIFA President Canni Infantino has announced plans against the Spanish championships to be held in North America. The project has gained a realistic impact since recently La Liga, Barcelona and Girona have applied to the Spanish Football Federation for permission to play the match between the two mentioned teams on January 26 in Miami. Infantino believes, however, that domestic matches should remain the same and not play in foreign countries. `I would prefer to watch a big league match from Major League Soccer instead of a La Liga match predicted by soccer sure bets in the United States. ` One of the basic principles in football is to play your home games, not in a foreign country. , which everyone has to comply with, such a proposal must be approved by the respective federations and relevant football associations, but last but not least, FIFA has to give its opinion because it would have an impact on football at a global level, `said Infantino.
La Liga President Javier Tebass, who is the great initiator of the US game idea, responded to Infantino in the following manner using the Twitter network. `I will remind the FIFA president that three teams from Canada are participating in the MLS, and the current Toronto champion is also on this side, although in Canada he has a separate professional league. `
Canadian teams Toronto, Montreal and Vancouverreally compete in MLS but play their home games in their own cities.
To make matches from the Spanish Championship in North America, La Liga must obtain permissions from the Spanish Federation, the US Federation, UEFA and CONCACAF. The president of the Spanish football federation, Luis Rubioles, recently opposed the idea.
