La Liga have confirmed that they along with Barcelona and Girona are seeking formal permission from the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) to host the January league fixture between the two clubs in Miami.
Part of the 'La Liga North America' deal signed with US-based Relevent Sports over the summer to promote Spanish football stateside, the proposed game in Miami's Hard Rock Stadium must be agreed to by RFEF before it can go ahead.
The request submitted for the federation's approval has been jointly signed by Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu, Girona president Delfi Geli and La Liga president Javier Tebas, confirming that the neighbouring clubs appear to be on board.
