La Liga considers playing matches abroad
Madrid, Sep 8 (IANS) Spanish football league association, La Liga President Javier Tebas on Friday did not rule out playing one or two matches abroad.
Tebas revealed, after the presentation of the “Football Transfer Review” report, that La Liga was studying the possibility of holding a match or two of the next campaign in China or the US, reports Efe.
“It would be a match or two maximum per season, like what NFL or NBA do. It is something that has to do with promotion in these markets. If we want to compete with Premier (League) of Bundesliga we have to add value,” Tebbas said.
He added that the association is still considering this measure because there is a legal factor, in addition to both the economic and the social factors, not to mention the matches’ timetable.
He admitted that the idea “does not look bad” and that it could be achieved by next season.
On another topic, Tebas said that Spanish Cup would try using Video Assistant Referee (VAR) this season, and if it works out, it would be “implemented officially” in all competitions.

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
