Premier League looking global

Premier League looking global

07 February 2008 - 21:55

Radical changes could soon be happening in the Premiership as it appears at least one game a season could be played in a foreign city in the Premier League for each side from 2010.

  • Chelsea want to hand new contract to 23yo star - Romano
  • Chelsea set for big injury boost for Wolves clash

  • Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore said: "The 'international round' is an exciting and innovative proposal that needs careful consideration before being introduced.



    "However, this concept recognises the truly global appeal of the Premier League whilst understanding that the traditions of the English game have always underpinned our success.



    "We believe that an 'international round' of matches will enhance the strength of the Premier League as a competition; create extra interest in all 20 Premier League Clubs at home and abroad; and allow increased investment in talent development and acquisition, facilities as well as our football development and community programmes."
