Barcelona in Miami? Spain's LaLiga Moves Closer to Hosting U.S.-Based Game
LaLiga Barcelona in Miami? Spain's LaLiga Moves Closer to Hosting U.S.-Based Game Updated Aug. 11, 2025 12:37 p.m. ET share facebook x reddit link Lamine Yamal playing an actual regular-season match for Barcelona at the home of the NFL's Miami Dolphins? It could happen. Soccer fans in the U.S. have long been used to seeing some of Europe's biggest clubs play exhibition matches and friendlies during the summer, but now Spain's LaLiga is closer to hosting a regular-season match stateside. And it would include the league's defending champions. The Spanish soccer federation on Monday approved a request for the match between Barça and Villarreal to be played in Miami on Dec. 20. The federation will now seek approval from soccer governing bodies UEFA and FIFA. The 17th-round match in LaLiga would be played at the Hard Rock Stadium. Staging a match abroad has been part of the league's goal of promoting soccer and its brand in other countries. The league is in a 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 One's Miami Grand Prix and the Miami Open tennis tournament. LaLiga has been pushing to host a regular-season match in the U.S. for numerous years, similarly to the way the NFL has hosted games in Europe, Mexico and Brazil. In 2018-19, the Spanish league proposed a game between Barcelona and Girona. Another game between Villarreal and Athletico Madrid for the following season fell through. Interestingly enough, the Dolphins will be playing a regular-season game in Spain – taking on the Washington Commanders on Nov. 16 at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium – home of Barcelona's longtime rivals, Real Madrid.

Pau Cubarsi to return to Barcelona after suffering ankle injury on Spain duty
Centre-back Pau Cubarsi is set to return to Barcelona after picking up an injury while on international duty with Spain. The 18-year-old was forced off in the 41st minute of Spain's 2-2 draw in the first leg of their UEFA Nations League quarter-final against the Netherlands on Thursday. He went down holding his ankle and received treatment on the pitch. Advertisement Cubarsi was replaced by Dutch-born Bournemouth defender Dean Huijsen, who was making his senior international debut. Spain have confirmed Cubarsi will not part of the squad for the return leg against the Netherlands on Sunday and is returning to his club. Lazio centre-back Mario Gila has replaced him. A statement from the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) on Friday read: 'After scans conducted, Spanish FA have decided Pau Cubarsi returns to his club, FC Barcelona, to start recovery from the problems he had in his right ankle and that prevented him from completing last game against the Netherlands.' Any kind of significant injury would be a blow to Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick, who has seen Cubarsi form an impressive partnership with Inigo Martinez in central defence, but there is hope within the club that the teenager will be fit to face Osasuna on Thursday, March 27. La Liga Barcelona leaders then take on Atletico Madrid in the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final on April 2 and play Borussia Dortmund in a Champions League quarter-final first leg a week later. Cubarsi made his first team debut for the Catalan club in January 2024 and went on to establish himself as a first-team regular in the remainder of the season, making 19 La Liga appearances, and received his first senior cap for Spain in March. He turned 18 in January, which enabled him to sign a longer-term contract with Barcelona until 2029. Cubarsi has been a fixture of Flick's side this season, making 42 appearances in all competitions.
