"The LaLiga Summer Tour is an exciting opportunity for us to continue reaching new fans by bringing the history and passion of LaLiga to North America," said Óscar Mayo, Executive General Director of LaLiga. "LaLiga is in a period of rapid transformation as more teams are improving and the athletes are reaching entirely new fan bases globally. There's a real passion growing in Mexico and the United States for the sport and we hope to tap into that with this tour."
Ramón Alarcón, Real Betis CEO, outlined the importance to continue working alongside LaLiga for the Club's international expansion. "The fact that LaLiga chose Real Betis to expand Spanish football in United States and Mexico is always good news. It's a great opportunity for us to keep growing and showing our values beyond our borders. We will play two demanding games that will also be part of our preparation for the beginning of the 2023/2024 season."
The tour is supported by ESPN and SKY, the official broadcasters of LaLiga in the United States and Mexico, respectively, and will be responsible for the production of the matches. As a result, LaLiga fans will be able to enjoy each match exclusively on their platforms.
