Barcelona Withdraw Proposal for La Liga Match in Miami Against Girona

Barcelona have withdrawn from La Liga's planned January fixture in Miami against Girona, citing a lack of agreement but leaving the door open to future participation.

The club released a statement on their official website:

"The FC Barcelona Board of Directors have agreed to withdraw their disposal to play their game against Girona FC in Miami, after noting a lack of consensus over this proposal.

"FC Barcelona were and remain willing to play a LaLiga game in Miami, and accepted that income from the game would be shared amongst all Primera Division and Segunda Division clubs, following the same criteria of television rights money distribution, but consider that this project will not prosper until there is an agreement between all parties.
