The highest body of world football towards changing the rules regarding national championships
Serie A abroad? A scenario that could soon become reality. There Fifa intends to give its approval to the playing of championship matches away from the national territory, with Saudi Arabia And America ready to welcome events. Despite the foreseeable opposition of the fans, the new policy of the highest government in world football will probably also be attractive to the growing number number of international owners of European clubs. FIFA is setting up a committee of 10-15 people representing football stakeholders to recommend changing the rules on ‘outside territory’ matches.
The rules on national championships have been changed by FIFA the last time in 2014. Since then, attempts to organize European Championship matches abroad, including bringing the Barcelona in Miami in 2019, they were blocked. U.S. promoters have long sought to offer fans more than just preseason exhibition matches involving the world’s best club teams. FIFA he instructed his working group, who is yet to be named, to consider fairness and to give “advance notice to fans who may miss out on the opportunity to attend a home or away match on their home turf”.
