UEFA has delayed a decision on whether to give the green light to European domestic league games being played overseas and pledged to consult with fans before making a final ruling.
The executive committee of European football’s governing body considered applications for the Villarreal v Barcelona LaLiga fixture to be played in Miami in December and for the AC Milan v Como Serie A match to be played in Perth, Australia, next February, when it met in Tirana on Thursday.
However, it said it would “undertake a round of consultation with all stakeholders in European football – including fans”.
‼️ Domestic league games being exported abroad presents an existential threat as severe to football as the super league.
