LaLiga: League's attempts to play fixture in United States dealt another blow as Spanish court backs football federation

Madrid: A Spanish court on Friday backed the decision by the country’s football federation to decline to authorize the league’s plan to play a match in the United States. [caption id=“attachment_8089831” align=“alignleft” width=“380”] ![Representational photo. Reuters](https://images.firstpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Premier-league-Football-generic-Reuters-380.jpg) Representational photo. Reuters[/caption] The league had wanted to host a match between Barcelona and Girona at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, in January 2019. The federation, however, said the match abroad would not comply with Spanish and international regulations and TV broadcast contracts, and that it would harm the other 18 league clubs and the fans of Girona and Barcelona. The league took the case to court, leading to Friday’s ruling that the league must come to an agreement with the federation in order to pursue its plan. The league responded to the setback by saying it would appeal the decision to a higher court. “Playing a game of LaLiga abroad, like competitions such as the NBA or NFL do, is positive for our competition’s growth,” the league said in a statement. The Spanish federation has played the Spanish Super Cup abroad for the past two years, first in Morocco and this season in Saudi Arabia. The federation is the governing body of all football, professional and amateur, in Spain. LaLiga commercially manages the top two tiers of the men’s competition. The presidents of the federation and the league have had numerous confrontations in recent years.
