European football is preparing for historical changes, which caused a strong Brussels reaction.

Since the Spanish La Liga and the Italian series A are first prepared to take part in the home championship outside Europe, the EU Sports Commissioner Glenn Milev opposed the movement, declaring “deeply disappointed” offers.

“It is clear to me: European events should be held in Europe. European football should remain in Europe, ”Mikallef wrote on X, describing the idea of“ betrayal ”, not innovation.

His comments followed the meeting with Ronan Evein, Executive Director of Fanseurope, Fan -Association, covering more than 50 UEFA member states. Group For a long time against The export championship match abroad, claiming that this undermines the connection between clubs and their communities.

The Spanish football Federation has already approved the plans of the 17th match La Liga, Barcelona – Villarreal, which will be held at the Hard Rock stadium in Miami on December 20.

Meanwhile, the Italian Federation supported the request of the series A to hold the 24th match of the series A, Milan -Komo in Perth, Australia, in February 2026, since the Milan stadium in San Milan will not be available than from the launch ceremony of the Olympic Games.

Both coincidences expect the final approval by the relevant administrative bodies, such as UEFA and FIFA. In case of confirmation, they will be the first races of the regular season of large European leagues to take place outside Epirus – perhaps, creating a precedent for future crossings.

Mikallef warned that the situation could be the “first large test for the Super league”, insisting that powerful clubs based on the community are the central element of the European sports model.

The discussion reflects the trends in American sports, where the race abroad is now routine.

The US NFL football championship was the most aggressive, organizing 55 international competitions of regular season since 2007, while seven more are scheduled for 2025.

The US Baseball Championship MLB and basketball championships in the United States also experimented with international matches, albeit with a smaller sequence.

Whether European football follows the same path, remains uncertain, but the resistance of both fans and politicians suggests that the battle is just beginning.
