Tebas regrets the cancellation of the LaLiga match in Miami
The president of LaLiga, Javier Tebas, has expressed his disappointment at the decision to cancel the match between Barcelona and Villarreal in Miami. He believes that this measure represents a lost opportunity for Spanish football.
The meeting, which was scheduled for December, drew criticism due to concerns about the integrity of the competition. The players protested against the initiative, and finally, the league announced the cancellation “due to the uncertainty that has arisen in Spain in recent weeks”.
Today, Spanish football has missed an opportunity to advance, project itself globally and strengthen its future.
Tebas harshly criticized those who oppose the plan, arguing that “tradition” is invoked from a narrow perspective, while the true traditions of European football are threatened by decisions that harm national leagues. Furthermore, he pointed out that the “integrity of the competition” is invoked by those who have questioned it for years.
In his message on X, Tebas thanked Villarreal and Barcelona for their commitment to the project, which sought the growth of the competition. He assured that LaLiga will continue working to keep Spanish football competitive, respecting its roots and ensuring its sustainability.
The president concluded by stating that Spanish football must look to the future with ambition, and that they will keep trying despite this setback.
The cancellation of the match in Miami occurred despite the efforts of the clubs and the league to bring Spanish football to a global audience.
