Making a formal, written request signed by the three principal parties is the first step to getting the go-ahead for the match to take place.
Fans to gain compensation
One area highlighted by LaLiga in the written request was ensuring that local season ticket holders on both sides are compensated for not being able to attend the Week 21 game. Supporters Federation Aficiones Unidas (AFEPE), have given their approval of the compensation system put forward.
The LaLiga match in Miami would come within the LaLiga North América scheme - a joint venture announced last month concerning a long-term alliance betwen LaLiga and Relevent. LaLiga North America's principal objective is to promote football in the United States and Canada.
