Bournemouth owner Bill Foley would not support any plan to play Premier League games outside England.

In an exclusive chat with BBC Sport in Santa Barbara during his club's pre-season tour of the United States, Foley said he was too respectful of the game and its fans to think it was a good idea.

In May, world governing body Fifa said it was setting up a working group to assess the potential impact of competitive domestic matches being played overseas.

The Premier League has previously said it had no plans to get involved, although Spain's La Liga is hopeful of staging games in the United States in the 2025-26 season.
