Villarreal vs Barcelona LaLiga Match in Miami Faces Scheduling Challenge
LaLiga and the Spanish Football Federation have taken a significant step toward hosting a Spanish league match outside Spain. The proposed fixture is Villarreal vs Barcelona, set for December 20th in Miami.
While the match has received initial approval from the RFEF, final permission is still required from UEFA (the confederation overseeing both clubs), CONCACAF (the host region’s confederation), and FIFA, the global football authority.
However, the venue may present a scheduling conflict. The Hard Rock Stadium, shared with the NFL’s Miami Dolphins, could be unavailable on December 20th. The Dolphins are scheduled to play the Cincinnati Bengals the following day, December 21st, as part of the high-profile ‘Sunday Night Football’ lineup, which features up to 12 NFL games.
With several months left before the planned fixture and official international approvals, the Villarreal vs Barcelona game in Miami is already facing its first logistical hurdle.
