"What happened in Miami with the Barça and Villarreal match shows that this is not the way to do things."
"Before taking an initiative of this nature, a decision so important that it could undoubtedly have affected the integrity of the competition, there needed to be dialogue and agreement among the participants, among all the clubs. Of course, the players and the fans also need to be taken into account."
"In the future, if there is any idea along these lines, it must be based on the need for dialogue and agreement. And immediately, transparency, absolute transparency. And first, as a prerequisite, there must be adequate rules for this type of initiative."
"at present, neither the Royal Spanish Football Federation nor LaLiga have them. It is necessary to draw up rules that allow for this type of situation and to do so with the agreement and consensus of all. In any case, at the CSD we will always prefer to bring sporting events to Spain and not take them"
The planned Villarreal vs Barcelona fixture relocation to Miami was cancelled after the promoter withdrew, ending expected financial gains for the clubs. CSD president Jose Manuel Rodriguez Uribes criticised the way the proposal was handled, arguing it risked the competition's integrity and lacked consultation with clubs, players and fans. He called for future initiatives to require dialogue, agreement, absolute transparency and adequate rules. Rodriguez Uribes noted that neither the Royal Spanish Football Federation nor LaLiga currently have such rules and urged drawing them up by consensus, while favouring hosting events in Spain.
