La Liga management has sent letters to players of all clubs explaining the possibility of holding the 17th round "Villarreal" - "Barcelona" match in the USA.
According to Idman.Biz, referring to Mundo Deportivo, the document emphasizes the economic importance of audiovisual rights and the importance of promoting the Spanish football brand in the American market.
It is noted that teams interested in such an initiative were selected to participate in the project: "Barcelona", "Villarreal", "Atletico Madrid" and "Girona". The match abroad was agreed in 2018, and the selection of specific participants was determined by schedule constraints.
Earlier, the Spanish Footballers' Association (AFE) announced symbolic protests during the matches of the 9th round, expressing dissatisfaction with the lack of transparency and dialogue between the players and the La Liga management regarding the match in the USA.
