A competitive league game, involving Barcelona, in Miami. Sound familiar? LaLiga has been working on the idea for years, without success. Until now.

There is a possibility that FC Barcelona, which played in the FIFA Club World Cup in 2025, will visit the United States again at the end of this year. The Spanish daily As reported on the 11th (Korea time) that the Villarreal-Barcelona match in the 17th round of the 2025-2026 Primera Liga is expected to be held in Miami.

Real Madrid have issued a statement to express the club’s desire to see plans to play Villarreal vs Barcelona in Miami to be rejected. The RFEF has forwarded a request for the game to be played in the United States to UEFA and FIFA for a final approval, but Real Madrid are not happy with the plan and want it binned.
