Serie A “would love to” host a competitive game abroad in the United States in the race to be a “trendser” for European football, ahead of Lika Premier League and La Liga.
The highest flight in Italy was the world’s elite domestic football league in the 1980s and 1990s, a title that has long since moved on and now routinely fights from its English and Spanish colleagues.
But while The largest European clubs The United States made home from home in the preseason thanks to a huge and growing market, the League League game “regular seasons” has never been played.
It was a conversational place for Premier league For years, but something that has never come true, mainly because of logistical challenges and expected fans. In the meantime, plans for a recent conflict in December are deposited by Barcelona against Atletico Madrid in Miami.
“We would love to do it”, Serie a Michele Ciccarese commercial and marketing director explained a group of journalists invited to the US League base in New York.
“We do to do so potentially, but there are obstacles that we need to overcome the right strategy and with the support of clubs, not forgetting that the players are players.”
One of the main things that stopped the installation of a foreign Premier League is that the fans who have lost regular matches. Ciccarese is unwavering that such fans have to be considered and that could not be a big derby game that, for example, is given to the American audience.
“This should do this in a way that makes sense without forgetting the fans. You can’t play Milan derby in America because fans in Italy will be a lot of upset because this game has great importance in Italy, so we have to play in a way that respects our audience,” he said.
“It’s always a race to try to be a trendsetter because then followers come and trendsetter [gets] More benefits, more potentially, in terms of income. We need the approval of the Italian Federation, Uefa, then goes to FIFA, and then returns to the local community. “
Serie A could be well set up to use the big name of the USMNT players currently in the league, more than rival competitions. Christian Pulisic and Yunus Musah both stars for AC Milanwith Timothy Weaha and Weston McKennie in Juventus. Gianluca Busio also plays for Venezia.
Other sports successfully performed games to a foreign place to hire new markets. NFL has held a regular season outside the United States a year since 2007, more games from 2013, organized in London, Mexico City, Munich, Berlin, Frankurt and Sao Paulo. Further games 2025 and 2026 will also head to Madrid, Dublin and Melbourne.
The NBA first experimented with a foreign audience as early as 1990 by taking games in Japan, and since 2011, regular seasonal matches are often held in London, Mexico City and Paris. Baseball Major League also revived the International Games program, which was first set up in 1996 and has been leaving for London, Mexico City, Monterrey, Seoul and Tokyo since 2019 in recent years.
