La Liga President Open to Hosting Matches in Morocco
La Liga's president, Javier Tebas, has expressed his interest in staging a league match in Morocco. This comes after a previous attempt to host a game in Miami, which was ultimately canceled due to backlash from supporters.
Tebas revealed his desire for top-tier Spanish football to be showcased in other countries, with Morocco being a notable consideration. Morocco is slated to co-host the 2030 World Cup alongside Spain and Portugal, highlighting a growing football connection.
In a recent interview, Tebas stated, "Naturally, given the huge number of supporters of the Spanish League in Morocco, this is still very likely. We also like the idea of holding a match in the new stadium in Casablanca. Who knows? Why not?" He further emphasized the importance of expansion in the Middle East and North Africa, noting the significant fan base in the region and the historical relationship with Spain that extends to football. Tebas also acknowledged and praised the recent successes of Moroccan football.
Potential Fan Reaction
While the proposal to hold a match in the United States met with considerable fan opposition, the prospect of a game in Morocco might be met with less resistance. The geographical proximity between Morocco and Spain would make it more accessible for Spanish-based supporters to attend, potentially mitigating some of the concerns raised previously.
The possibility of Morocco hosting a La Liga match remains a future consideration for Tebas, though it is not an immediate plan.
