Spanish league moves to expand in Middle East, North Africa

The Spanish league will attempt to expand its reach in the Middle East, North Africa and the Indian subcontinent, continuing its push to grow internationally and narrow the gap to the English Premier League. The new joint venture announced on Tuesday pairs the Spanish league with multinational esports and gaming organization Galaxy Racer, which has expertise in the region, on a 15-year deal with 50-50 participation. The league wants to significantly increase the presence of its clubs and Spanish soccer in this “strategic part of the world.”
