Hupu reported breaking news on October 22 that the organizer of the La Liga overseas match between Villarreal and Barcelona stated that there was insufficient time to organize the match.

A Relevent statement read: "Relevent has informed the Laliga League that Villarreal's match against Barcelona, originally scheduled for December 20 in Miami, needs to be postponed.

In light of the current uncertainty in Spain, we There is not enough time to properly organize an event of this scale. It is also irresponsible to start ticket sales without confirming the game."

In August this year, the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) approved the application for the December La Liga Villarreal match against Barcelona to be held in Miami.

The game was originally scheduled to be played at the Estadio Ceramica, home of Villarreal in eastern Spain, on the weekend of December 20-21, but was eventually moved to the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida.

This will be the first time that Europe's top league is held in the United States, although the Spanish Super Cup has been held in Saudi Arabia in four of the past five seasons.

On October 6, UEFA "regrettably" approved the Italian and Spanish domestic league matches to be held overseas, which was a landmark ruling. At the same time, it reiterated its "unequivocal opposition" to these plans and stated that these plans were approved "in the context of loopholes in global supervision and under exceptional circumstances."

Alexander Ceferin, the president of European football's governing body, called the decision "regrettable" and said it "should not be seen as setting a precedent" and that "league matches should be played on home soil."
