FIFA is moving towards allowing domestic league matches to be played in other countries, marking a significant shift in soccer tradition. The organization has created a working group to review and amend the rules that currently prevent such games. This decision follows an agreement with US-based Relevent Sports to end a legal dispute challenging FIFA’s ban on overseas matches. Adequate provisions must be made for fans to attend these matches. La Liga already plans to stage games abroad in 2025. The Premier League could also see matches played overseas.
