It seems like Javier Tebas' wish of bringing Spain's LaLiga matches across the Atlantic might be closer than ever. The 61-year-old has served as the president of LaLiga since 2013 and has continuously pursued the idea of having competitive soccer matches between European clubs on American soil.
In recent years, a handful of European countries have tested the waters by playing their Super Cup (between league and domestic cup winners) games outside of Europe. The pioneer was Italy, who played its first Supercoppa Italiana in China in 2009. Spain joined them in 2018, when they moved the Spanish Super Cup to Morocco and Saudi Arabia.
