RFEF Approves Barcelona-Villarreal La Liga Soccer Match in Miami
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA, AUG 11 – The match will mark the first LaLiga regular-season game played outside Spain as part of efforts to grow football in the US, pending UEFA and FIFA approvals.
- On Aug. 11, 2025, the RFEF approved Villarreal CF vs. FC Barcelona to be played at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami on Dec. 20, 2025.
- After failed attempts in 2018 and 2019, LaLiga aimed to stage US matches, with Tebas stating last year that playing in 2025-26 was a priority.
- The RFEF will forward the request to UEFA to begin procedures for FIFA's prior authorisation, with all federations needing to sign off.
- One historic precedent looms if finalized, as it would be the first Spanish first division game played overseas, likely prompting fans' objections.
- Through its tie-up with Relevent Sports, LaLiga promotes its brand internationally, aligning with the US hosting the 2026 FIFA World Cup next year and working with Stephen Ross's portfolio including Hard Rock Stadium.
