Villarreal's La Liga match vs FC Barcelona will not be moved to Miami - European football has once again stood strong to protect our game.

The governance of Spanish professional football needs reform now & @fasfeaficion.bsky.social must play a key role.

EU Commissioner slams plans to take European football games abroad Playing regular-season European football games outside Europe would be a โ€˜betrayalโ€™ of the sportโ€™s identity and community roots, according to the EU Commissioner Glenn Micallef.

The EU Commissioner for Sport couldnโ€™t be clearer:

"European competitions must be played in Europe. European football must stay in Europe."

Football Supporters Europe (FSE) is appalled by the latest attempts by La Liga and Lega Serie A to relocate competitive domestic matches to the United States and Australia. We are following the broader impact on football with the utmost concern.

Moving games from their domestic territories strikes at the heart of the relationship between fans and their teams, breaking vital links between clubs and their communities.

FSE reiterates its total, unequivocal opposition to the deterritorialisation of football.

We stand with all those affected by these reckless and ill-considered proposals and call on all parties to prioritise the good of the game over short-term commercial gain.

FSE is liaising with members, football stakeholders, affected groups, and partner organisations in the rest of the world to collectively resist the latest threat to the very nature of football.

Fan mobilisation has defeated previous attacks on football. And we are ready to fight once again to protect the future of our game.

Thank you to everyone who joined us in Malmรถ for a truly special edition of the European Football Fans Congress.

Itโ€™s always something powerful when football supporters from across Europe come togetherโ€”not just to share stories and experiences, but to learn from one another, build new connections, and grow stronger as a united movement rooted in shared values and a collective drive to protect our game.

The energy and commitment shown over the past few daysโ€”by both long-standing members and new facesโ€”has left us more motivated than ever to keep pushing forward on behalf of supporters everywhere.

This yearโ€™s participants helped take the conversation to new places, while consistently demonstrating the core values we as football fans stand for. 

Thank you again for being part of it.
