La Liga President: Girona-Barcelona Match on US Soil '90 Per Cent' Certain

La Liga President Javier Tebas has said the proposed league match between Girona and Barcelona in Miami is "90 per cent" certain to go ahead.

Tebas made an appearance on radio station Onda Cero (h/t Reuters, via for AS) to discuss the controversial fixture:

"Girona-Barcelona will 90 per cent be played in the United States, but the agreement is not about just one game, it's about a process which is much bigger.

"We held a bidding process and various companies got involved. There's no obligation for teams to play one game a year in the United States, only the clubs who volunteer to go will go.
