Tebas responded to Lafayette’s doubts about La Liga’s overseas matches: Real Madrid knew about it a long time ago, but never raised any objections

La Liga Chairman Tebas posted on Twitter, responding to Real Madrid Chairman Perez Perez’s doubts about La Liga’s overseas games.

Tebas wrote: "There have been many claims about holding the game in Miami, but almost none of them are factual."

"The Miami game project falls within the framework of a joint venture agreement with Relevent, which was established in 2018 in The agreement was unanimously approved at the meeting of the Standing Committee, within the framework of the cooperation with Relevent, and the strategic line was explained and approved by La Liga's governing body. Real Madrid has never challenged it."

" Subsequently, at a Standing Committee meeting in 2020, the project was explained again, and Real Madrid was also represented, who did not raise any objections. The rules and procedures are followed, and it is not La Liga, not the Spanish Football Federation, not UEFA, and certainly not Real Madrid, nor the Spanish Supreme Sports Council, who has the right to decide whether a match played outside Spain harms the nature of an event."

"According to International. According to the rules, FIFA only has this authority and we did just that, we submitted the application and awaited its decision. In this project, neither Villarreal nor FC Barcelona received a special bonus for traveling to Miami, Villarreal only received one for supporting this initiative. Barcelona did not receive any compensation related to the number of fans who played there. "

"The economic figures of the Miami project were duly detailed at the briefing on the accounts for the 24/25 season and the budget for the 25/26 season held in October last year. According to reports, the same was explained at the Standing Committee meetings, which Real Madrid also attended, listened to the explanations and did not make any of the remarks made at the time in its general meeting. "

"In short, playing in Miami is an approval given by La Liga's governing body. The project, which was handled legally and compliantly, was explained many times and made known to Real Madrid. This project, which is now described as an aberration, was not questioned by anyone at Real Madrid at the right time and at the right time. It was a strategic move aimed at internationalizing our competition."
