Girona have accepted a La Liga proposal to face Barcelona in the United States, adamant it represents a "great possibility of and expansion" for their club and city.
La Liga announced in mid-August they had struck a groundbreaking deal with multinational media, sports and entertainment company 'Relevent' that will boost the competition in North America and see a Spanish top-flight match played in the United States for the first time.
Such a move has been met with staunch opposition, particularly from the Association of Spanish Footballers (AFE), who accused the league of dispensing "with the opinion of the players and engages them in actions that only benefit them".
