La Liga president Javier Tebas has expressed his interest in the possibility of hosting a league match in Morocco. This comes after a previous attempt to stage a game in Miami, which was ultimately canceled due to backlash from supporters.
Tebas stated that Morocco is a strong candidate due to its large La Liga fanbase and the historical footballing ties between the two nations. He also mentioned the appeal of playing in a new stadium in Casablanca.
The expansion of La Liga in the Middle East and North Africa is a key priority for the league, with Tebas believing their fanbase in the region could even surpass that of the Premier League.
While a potential match in Morocco might still face some opposition from fans, it is likely to be less contentious than the US proposal, given the geographical proximity for Spanish supporters.
The idea of a La Liga match in Morocco is currently in the early stages, but it represents a significant opportunity for the league to connect with its international audience.
