""Real Madrid have written a letter to the Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF) requesting them to block the Villarreal vs Barcelona match being played in the US.""
""Even though UEFA has already given the green light for the match to go ahead in Miami, it still needs final approval from CONCACAF, as the game will be played in its territory.""
""We're already used to this. The Miami issue is fully agreed upon with LaLiga and Villarreal. We see it as an opportunity to bring joy to the Barça fans in the United States and to promote Barça's image in an interest""
Villarreal vs Barcelona, scheduled for 20 December, has been relocated from Estadio de la Ceramica to the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, marking the first Spanish league game planned outside Spain. Real Madrid and several other La Liga clubs oppose the relocation, arguing it would distort the competition. Real Madrid has appealed to the Higher Sports Council (CSD) and sent a letter to CONCACAF seeking to block the match. UEFA has already given approval but final authorization is required from CONCACAF because the fixture would take place in its territory. Barcelona views the move as an opportunity to reach US fans and boost the club's image.
