Why Germany's Bundesliga games won't be played abroad (yet)
AI Summary
UEFA recently allowed two European league games to be played abroad, sparking widespread opposition from fans, players, and pundits across Europe. Spain's La Liga canceled a match between Barcelona and Villarreal in the United States due to this backlash. Only an Italian Serie A game between Como and AC Milan remains scheduled for Perth, Australia, in February. The primary motivation behind playing games abroad is financial, aiming to boost global presence and club profitability. In contrast, Germany's Bundesliga differs as it has a 50+1 rule that ensures members (usually fans) have significant control over club operations, making it less likely to host league matches overseas.
