Real Madrid rejects US match, citing threat to competition's integrity
Real Madrid said it "firmly rejects" having a regular-season Spanish league game played in the United States and warned of a turning point in the world of football. Villarreal, in contrast, is promising free travel and tickets for season-ticket holders if its match against Barcelona in Miami is approved in what would be a first for the league. The 17th-round match in La Liga would be played at the Hard Rock Stadium. Madrid said Tuesday it has taken action to keep the Dec. 20 match from happening in the U.S., claiming it would hurt the integrity of the competition and the legitimacy of the results. The measure, which was taken without prior information or consultation of the clubs participating in the competition, infringes the essential principle of territorial reciprocity, which applies in two-legged league competitions (one match at home and the other at the home of the opposing team), upsetting the competitive balance and giving an undue sporting advantage to the applicant clubs, Madrid said. The club said the match would set an unacceptable precedent that opens the door to exceptions based on non-sporting interests, clearly affecting sporting integrity and risking the adulteration of the competition. If this proposal were to be carried out, its consequences would be so serious that it would be a turning point in the world of football, Madrid said. The Europe-wide fan group Football Supporters Europe, or FSE, said it was liaising with members, soccer stakeholders, affected groups, and partner organizations to collectively resist the latest threat to the very nature of football. We are following the broader impact on football with the utmost concern, the group said. Moving games from their domestic territories strikes at the heart of the relationship between fans and their teams, breaking vital links between clubs and their communities. The group also criticized a similar move by the Italian league to play a match abroad. The Italian soccer federation said in July that a plan was in motion to play the Serie A match between AC Milan and Como in the Australian city of Perth in February. Madrid asks FIFA and UEFA to withhold permission Madrid said it has asked FIFA, UEFA and Spain's top sports body to not authorize the game in the U.S. The Spanish soccer federation on Monday approved a request for the match to be played in Miami. UEFA and FIFA now have to approve the request before it can be made official. Any modification of this nature must, in any case, have the express and unanimous agreement of all the clubs participating in the competition, as well as strictly respecting the national and international rules governing the organization of official competitions, Madrid said. Madrid and Spanish league president Javier Tebas have often been at odds on various issues. The club said UEFA should deny the request to play the game abroad based on the criterion established in 2018 that prevents official matches in domestic competitions from being played outside national territory, except in duly justified exceptional circumstances, which are not present here. Madrid said it asked the country's high sports council not to grant the necessary administrative authorization without such unanimous consent. Real Madrid reaffirms its commitment to respect the national and international rules that guarantee the fairness and proper functioning of official competitions, and will defend its compliance with them before all competent bodies, the club said. Villarreal hoping to expand its brand in US Villarreal earlier Tuesday said its season ticket-holders can travel for free and receive free tickets for the match. It said those who don't want to go, or can't go, will get a 20% discount on their season tickets. We would be the first (Spanish) team to play a league match abroad, Villarreal president Fernando Roig told a news conference. "It would greatly help us expand our brand in a key market like the United States. Staging a match abroad has long been part of the league's goal to promote soccer and its brand in other countries. It first tried to stage a match in the U.S. in 2018, with a game between Barcelona and Girona, but the idea was dismissed after criticism from players, fans and clubs. Subsequent attempts to play there also failed. The league had offered compensation packages for Girona fans in 2018. It wasn't clear whether it would be Villarreal or the league paying for the travel and tickets for the club's fans this time. The attempts to play in the U.S. are part of the league's long-term partnership with sports and entertainment group Relevent Sports, which is part of Stephen Ross' portfolio of companies including Hard Rock Stadium, the Miami Dolphins, the Formula 1's Miami Grand Prix and the Miami Open tennis tournament. Earlier this year, it was announced that New York-based Relevent Sports has exclusive negotiating rights over the global commercial rights to the UEFA men's club competitions for the period 2027-2033. FIFA moved last year toward ending decades of soccer tradition by ordering a review of its policy that blocks domestic league games being played in other countries. Some fan groups in Spain and the country's players association on Monday expressed their disapproval of the plan to move the match thousands of kilometers away. It has become routine, though, for U.S. pro sports leagues to stage games in Europe, Asia and South America that help build their brands and fan bases.

'Everyone doesn't need to play Test cricket': ICC told not to make countries 'bankrupt' by 'forcing' red-ball format
Cricket Australia chief Todd Greenberg has issued a stark warning about the financial sustainability of Test cricket, urging administrators to consider a leaner, more targeted schedule to protect the game's oldest format. Speaking on the future of red-ball cricket, Greenberg emphasised that overloading the calendar could spell financial disaster for smaller cricketing nations already struggling to keep pace. London: India's players before the start of play on fifth day of the fifth Test match between India and England, at The Oval(PTI) 'Scarcity in Test cricket is our friend, not our foe,' Greenberg said, as quoted by BBC. 'I don't think everyone in world cricket needs to aspire to play Test cricket, and that might be OK. We're literally trying to send countries bankrupt if we force them to try to play Test cricket.' His comments come as the International Cricket Council (ICC) explores structural reforms, including a possible two-tier Test system, aimed at creating more competitive and financially viable matchups. Priorities big-ticket series Greenberg argued that the sport's most iconic contests, such as the Ashes and the series involving the big three – India, England, and Australia – should be prioritised and given greater investment to ensure they continue to thrive. With the 2025-26 Ashes series in Australia now just 100 days away, he pointed to its enduring appeal and profitability as an example of where resources should be concentrated. While Greenberg acknowledged the high points of the recent England-India series, which he described as Test cricket at its finest, he contrasted it with one-sided encounters elsewhere. Among Australia's wins in the recently concluded series in the West Indies, the lowest margin was 133 runs, and New Zealand's innings-and-359-run hammering of Zimbabwe, he argued, illustrated the competitive and commercial gaps that exist in the current Test landscape. These mismatches, he suggested, do little to attract fans or generate revenue, especially in markets where cricket struggles to compete with other entertainment options. 'We need to make sure we invest in the right spaces to play Test cricket where it means something and has jeopardy,' he said. 'That's why the Ashes will be as enormous and profitable as it is — because it means something.'

Cricketer won't be allowed to post logo of adult-content website on bat in The Hundred
England fast bowler Tymal Mills will not be allowed to display a logo promoting his OnlyFans account on his bat during The Hundred. The subscription website is known for its adult content but Mills has previously stated that he will have 'completely safe' material on his channel on the site. OnlyFans is an online platform where people post photos, videos and host live streams that can be monetised. The users of the site pay monthly subscription and occasional pay-per-view services. It's been reported that creators of the content on the site are paid about 80% of the fees. Last week, Mills, who is the highest wicket taker in The Hundred, became the first international cricketer to associate himself with the site. In a statement he said he would offer his subscribers a 'closer, more personal look into life as a professional cricketer'. Mills has not displayed the logo in his two appearances in The Hundred so far this season. And it has now been reported that the England and Wales Cricket Board won't be giving permission for him to sport that logo. BBC has reported that the England board doesn't see OnlyFans as aligning with the 'family-friendly' nature of The Hundred. In an interview with UK's Telegraph, Mills had spoken about his decision to join the site, and also stressing that he won't be posting any risqué content. 'Categorically, yes (when asked if he would be keeping his clothes on). I know exactly what people might think, and what they are best known for. But I'll be putting stuff out that is about cricket and maybe a little bit of lifestyle content too. The conversations first started about a year ago, so I read up, held conversations and did my due diligence. I hadn't quite realised how big the company was. They're trying to get into football, get Premier League footballers on the platform. They're doing well with 'smaller' sports like surfing and skateboarding, individual sports. I'm the first cricketer, and they're trying to get into team sports. It's ground zero in that regard and I'm very excited. I want to be brave.' Mills insisted that he is 'not looking to get rich out of this'. The free subscribers can see his views on the games in The Hundred. Fans can pay $5 for his 'completely unfiltered thoughts' on the first game and a breakdown of the 'worst over' in his professional career. He has said that he views OnlyFans as 'just an extension' of his media career. Not all sportspersons' links with the website have gone down well. In May, a British Canoeist was banned from competing and said he was being forced to choose between his Olympic dream and his OnlyFans account.
