MADRID (Reuters) - La Liga's plans to stage a game in the United States are alive and kicking, according to president Javier Tebas who all but ruled out taking the showpiece El Clasico match out of Spain.

La Liga has twice failed to take a regular season match Stateside with FIFA, world football's governing body, and the Spanish FA voicing their opposition to the plans.

"El Clasico is a more difficult game to export because it's the most important club game in the world, it's different," Tebas said."But we might take other official games, we're certainly looking at that. "We've tried to do it and we'll continue to try. After this deal, our fans in the U.S. deserve a top-level game over there."
