While the Spanish Super Cup has been played abroad, notably in Saudi Arabia, it would be a first for a game in one of Europe's leading domestic leagues.

The RFEF said in a statement that the 17th-round match in La Liga would be played at the Hard Rock Stadium, the home stadium of former Barcelona star Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami.

The league first attempted to hold a match in the United States in 2018, but the proposal was dropped following criticism from some players, fans, and clubs. Further efforts to stage a game there have also been unsuccessful.

Playing a match abroad forms part of the league’s broader ambition to promote football and expand its brand internationally. It maintains a long-term partnership with sports and entertainment company Relevent Sports, which is among the businesses owned by Stephen Ross. His portfolio also includes the Hard Rock Stadium, the Miami Dolphins, Formula One’s Miami Grand Prix, and the Miami Open tennis tournament.

Last year, FIFA took steps towards breaking with decades of football tradition by launching a review of its policy that prevents domestic league matches from being held in other countries.
