The captains of 20 La Liga clubs have agreed to reject plans for the Barcelona versus Villarreal match to be held in Miami, United States, in December 2025.
The decision to reject the decision came from the meeting of La Liga club captains held , representing the Spanish Professional Footballers' Association (AFE).
In a statement quoted by ESPN Jakarta on Friday, AFE highlighted the lack of transparency and communication from La Liga regarding plans to take domestic matches abroad.
"Supported by the captains of La Liga clubs, the AFE rejects league matches being played outside of Spain," wrote the AFE.
The meeting came after the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) announced it had submitted a request to UEFA and FIFA to move Villarreal's home match against Barcelona, scheduled for the weekend of December 20, to Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.
