Barcelona vs Villarreal La Liga match moved to Miami by RFEF
The game, originally scheduled for December in Spain, will now take place at Hard Rock Stadium on Saturday, December 20.
This marks the first time a regular-season match from one of Europe's top domestic leagues could be played outside its home country.
The RFEF confirmed it has submitted the proposal to UEFA and FIFA for final approval.
While the Spanish Super Cup has previously been held abroad, this move sets a new precedent for league matches.
The fixture falls on the final matchday before La Liga's winter break. - AFP
