Sooner or later, it appears to a reality that will end up happening.

One of the competitions that is particularly keen to promote its passion and emotion to other corners of the world, especially to the Americas, is Spain’s LaLiga. This week LaLiga president Javier Tebas once again highlighted that such a possibility exists.
