🚨 Real Madrid say no to Villarreal-Barcelona being played in Miami | OneFootball

Real Madrid has issued a statement expressing its rejection of the Villarreal-Barcelona match being played outside of Spain.

The white team not only firmly rejects it, but has also taken its corresponding measures:

1. Request to FIFA, as the guarantor of international football rules, not to authorize the celebration of the match without the prior consent of all participating clubs in the competition.

2. Request to UEFA, as the guarantor of the integrity of European competitions and normative consistency with FIFA, to urge the RFEF to withdraw or deny the request, reaffirming the criterion established in 2018 that prevents official matches of domestic competitions from being played outside the national territory, except in duly justified exceptional circumstances, which do not occur here.

3. Request to the Higher Sports Council not to grant the necessary administrative authorization without such unanimous consent.

The Whites are the first team to show their disagreement with the match being played outside Spanish territory.
