BARCELONA (Reuters) - La Liga's plans to move Girona's fixture with Barcelona on Jan. 26 to Miami hang in the balance after the Spanish soccer federation (RFEF) declined to authorise the move until it received more information on the game.

"We have received a letter from the RFEF requesting more information about our proposal to play a La Liga competition match in the USA, we will provide that information," La Liga's head of communications Joris Evers told Reuters on Friday.
