In recent years, football and major sporting events have been receiving more attention in the US. Major tournaments such as Copa America 2024, Club World Cup 2025, World Cup 2026 or Olympics 2028 will all be held in the US.
In a recent interview with The Times, the head of the 2028 Olympic Organizing Committee, Mr. Casey Wasserman, confirmed that some Premier League matches may soon return to the United States.
Wasserman: "Just like the NFL has done a great job of taking their games overseas, I think you'll see European professional soccer games being played in America.
If you watch a Manchester United v Chelsea match in New York, or Real Madrid v Barcelona in Miami, the impact of the real games will be huge in American cities. I think that will happen soon."
In recent seasons, many European giants have chosen to travel to the US for pre-season tours, including Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, Barca, Real Madrid and AC Milan. Some Super Cup matches of developed European football countries have also been held abroad in recent years.
However, the fact that official matches of top European national championships, including the Premier League, are held outside the country has not happened in recent years.
