Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has come out in opposition to LaLiga's plans to play one game per season in the United States, saying it did not benefit clubs or supporters, reports SportBusiness.
"We won't go to the United States. I don't know whose interest it is in to play there but it is not in the interests of the clubs or the supporters, so we outright reject it," Perez told a club members' forum.
LaLiga's desire to become the first European soccer league to play regular-season games on a different continent hit a further snag last Friday when the Spanish soccer federation said it could not authorize the proposal to stage Girona's match against Barcelona on January 26 in Miami until it received more information.
