A Madrid judge has declined La Liga's request to have Villarreal's home match with Atletico Madrid played in Miami.
Per Adriana Garcia of ESPN, La Liga was hopeful the game could be played in the United States on December 6, despite the fact it had not received approval from the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF).
With both clubs said to be keen on moving the fixture, La Liga sought a court injunction that would permit the match to be played. That motion was declined in the Spanish capital on Friday by judge Moises Guillamon.
"La Liga respects this decision, which does not prejudge the substance of the matter, which will be permanently settled in February 2020," said a league statement, per Garcia.
