The Premier League has no plans to stage matches outside England
In recent years, football has seen a growing trend of hosting matches abroad. So far, this has been limited to Super Cup games in Italy and Spain, but many believe that regular league matches being played in foreign countries is only a matter of time. However, this is not the case for the Premier League.
Details: Premier League head of football Tony Scholes stated that the league has no intention of holding matches in the United States, as it would cause significant discontent in the UK.
Quote: “We don’t see a need to play in the U.S. during the season, and you understand the problems this would create in the UK. Playing abroad is not on our agenda, and no discussions are taking place,” Scholes said during a press briefing.
Reminder: Previously, Scholes also stated that the number of VAR errors in the Premier League has decreased.
