UEFA has approved the Villarreal-Barcelona match in Spain's La Liga and the Milan-Como match in Italy's Serie A to be played outside the country.



APPROVAL FROM UEFA



In a statement from UEFA, it was noted that the requests from the clubs were reluctantly and "exceptionally" approved due to gaps in the regulations. UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin stated in his remarks on the matter that it is unfortunate to allow these two matches to be played outside the country's borders, adding that "it should not be considered as a precedent."



TO BE PLAYED IN AMERICA AND AUSTRALIA



The Villarreal-Barcelona match in La Liga will be played in Miami, USA, while the Milan-Como match in Serie A will take place in Perth, Australia.
