England: Premier League clubs want to reconsider the possibility of playing one matchday abroad

The Barclays Premier League clubs want to reconsider the possibility of playing one of the 38 league matchdays abroad, according to the British press on 08/10/2014. The matches of the day would be held in different regions of the world where English football generates revenue, such as Asia, the United States and Australia.

This day abroad would likely not be implemented before the 2019-20 season, as the tender for media rights of the 2016-2019 cycle will be launched in early 2015.
