BERLIN: Boss of German sportswear giants Adidas, Herbert Hainer and a member of Bayern Munich’s advisory board, said Bundesliga matches could take place overseas in the future, especially in China. “Of course that could happen,” Hainer told German magazine Sport Bild when asked about future Bundesliga matches being hosted in China. “In US sports, we have already seen the Season Opener being played in other countries, so why not?” “We’re talking about the future, whether that is the Premier League or the Bundesliga that starts it first.” There is a large number of sporting events that are sometimes played overseas. North America’s MLB baseball league has played season opening games in Mexico, Tokyo, Porto Rico and Sydney in recent years. American Football’s National Football League (NFL) has staged matches outside of the United States. This year’s Top 14 final was played at Barcelona’s Camp Nou stadium.
