5 reasons how and why La Liga overseas plans could work...

IT COULD WORK, BUT WITH SOME REVISIONS ALONG THE WAY

The intention here is understandable.

La Liga in some part envies - and wishes to emulate - the commercial success of the Premier League in England.

And it has competition in this regard from the German Bundesliga and Italian Serie A. Ligue 1 in France has aspirations to reach this level also, whilst the Chinese Premier League is another long-term threat.

<p>

But then commercial growth must be balanced with practicality, and a need not to further Real Madrid/Barca's position and to ensure the smaller clubs get a slice of the action.

La Liga stands as a premier global football league. But given the grasp that Real/Barca possess, it's hard to see the requisite changes in TV revenues to other La Liga clubs being made. This would not be something that these two clubs would favour, given their dominance and power in the Spanish game.

Moving a game to the USA could be an easier solution, provided that all clubs in the country gained the opportunity to play overseas.
