FIFA president Gianni Infantino says a home match should “not be played in a foreign country,” as he addressed La Liga’s plans to stage a game in the US.
Spain’s top-flight has asked permission from the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) to relocate Girona’s ‘home’ match against Barcelona to the US.
The game would be played at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium on 26 January.
“I think I would prefer to see a great MLS game in the US rather than La Liga being in the US,” said Infantino.
“In football, the general principle is that you play a “home” match at “home”, and not in a foreign country.”
