The Spanish Footballers' Association (AFE) and Barcelona's Sergio Busquets have said players are united against plans to stage a La Liga match in the United States.
It was reported last week that a game would be played in the U.S. as part of an agreement signed with Relevent, the company that runs the International Champions Cup.
Speaking after a meeting between captains from top division teams including Busquets on Wednesday, AFE president David Aganzo said their stance against La Liga's plans was unanimous.
And in a video posted on AFE's Twitter account, Busquets said: "We met at AFE with all the colleagues that represent all the clubs. We are all united.
"Unity gives strength and, as our president said, we are all rowing in the same direction, on the path we all want and that I believe corresponds with us and is best for football."
