"La Liga deeply regrets that this project, which represented a historic and unparalleled opportunity for the internationalization of Spanish football, cannot go ahead. Hosting an official match outside our borders would have been a decisive step in the global expansion of our competition, strengthening the international presence of the clubs, the positioning of the players, and the brand of Spanish football in a strategic market like the United States."
"In a context of increasing global competitiveness, where leagues like the Premier League and competitions like the UEFA Champions League continue to increase their reach and revenue-generating capacity, initiatives like this are essential to ensuring the sustainability and growth of Spanish football. Forgoing these types of opportunities hampers the generation of new revenue, limits clubs' ability to invest and compete, and reduces the international reach of the entire Spanish football ecosystem."
La Liga announced that the Official La Liga Match in Miami was canceled because of recent uncertainty in Spain. The project was positioned as a historic chance to internationalize Spanish football, strengthen club presence, elevate player profiles, and grow the league's brand in the United States. The project complied with federal regulations and would not have affected competition integrity, though some overseeing institutions opposed it for other reasons. La Liga warns that foregoing such initiatives limits revenue generation, constrains clubs' investment and competitiveness, and reduces the Spanish football ecosystem's international reach. La Liga thanked clubs for their collaboration and reaffirmed commitment to global expansion.
