The president of the Spanish La Liga, Javier Tebas, has shown that he does not give up his intention to hold some matches of the championship in the USA. At the same time, he stressed that it was not a question of the classic confrontation between Barcelona and Real.
El Clasico in New York is not viable in terms of logistics. But this does not apply to other matches. Over the past four years, we have tripled the value of La Liga's international rights. In the future this figure will grow by 8-9% per year. But the goal is also to expand the number of foreign sponsors for our clubs. So far, only Real Madrid and Barcelona are showing growth. A lot of work is done in "Atletico". But it is important to interest foreign sponsors to come to Valencia, Valladolid or Huesca, - says Javier Tebas.Earlier, La Liga reached an agreement with the company Relevant, within which within 15 years matches Examples will be held in the US and Canada. At the same captains of the Spanish La Liga teams opposed the holding of matches abroad.
