La Liga has announced that December’s planned move of Villarreal’s game against Barcelona to Miami has been called off, citing “the uncertainty generated in Spain in recent weeks”.
The controversial move, along with that of a Serie A match between Milan and Como to Australia, was approved “reluctantly” by Uefa at the start of this month. However, the idea has met hostility from fan groups and players.
In a statement on its website, La Liga said: “Following discussions with the promoter of the official La Liga match in Miami, the latter has announced its decision to cancel the event due to the uncertainty generated in Spain in recent weeks.
“La Liga deeply regrets that this project, which represented a historic and unparalleled opportunity for the internationalisation of Spanish football, cannot go ahead.”
