Minister: "Barcelona" can play in England or Italy

After a couple of days, the upcoming referendum on Catalonia's independence from Spain could have significant implications in the world of sports. It is said that "La Liga" championship is at risk of losing teams from this region. Catalonia's sports minister Gerard Figueras also mentioned the possibility of playing in other leagues. "If independence is declared, our clubs - Barcelona, Girona, and Espanyol - can choose where they want to compete: in the leagues of Spain, Italy, France, or England. Currently, teams from other countries play in Spain, such as Andorra's football and basketball clubs. Monaco can compete in Ligue 1, Welsh clubs compete in England. I don't think UEFA would prevent teams from playing in other countries' championships."
