Several countries have an interest in staging soccer games from Europe’s major leagues and club tournaments in the short to medium term – an opportunity which would give and opening for competitions such as LaLiga, the Premier League or even the Champions League to be developed outside of Europe. Sooner or later, it appears to a reality that will end up happening.
One of the competitions that is particularly keen to promote its passion and emotion to other corners of the world, especially to the Americas, is Spain’s LaLiga. This week LaLiga president Javier Tebas once again highlighted that such a possibility exists.
