VARIOUS OF DRONE FOOTAGE OF HARD ROCK STADIUM – HOME OF THE NFL’S MIAMI DOLPHINS AND SITE WHERE BARCELONA’S LALIGA MATCH AGAINST VILLARREAL IS SLATED TO BE PLAYED STORY: UEFA have reluctantly approved a Serie A and a LaLiga match to be played abroad, the European governing body confirmed on Monday (October 6).      The LaLiga fixture between Barcelona and Villarreal will be staged in Miami in late December, while AC Milan’s Serie A encounter with Como will be held in Perth, Australia, in early February.     Milan opted for a foreign location as their San Siro stadium will be unavailable as both the city and the stadium prepare to host the Winter Olympics opening ceremony on February 6.     Spain's LaLiga has been pursuing their transatlantic vision for almost a decade, emulating the strategy employed by the NFL and NBA to establish themselves in other markets.     UEFA said its Executive Committee had reluctantly approved the move as an exception, stressing that FIFA’s regulatory framework, still under review, lacks sufficient clarity and detail, and reiterating that it remains opposed in principle to such matches.     "League matches should be played on home soil; anything else would disenfranchise loyal match-going fans and potentially introduce distortive elements in competitions," UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin said in a statement.     "While it is regrettable to have to let these two games go ahead, this decision is exceptional and shall not be seen as setting a precedent.     "Our commitment is clear: to protect the integrity of national leagues and ensure that football remains anchored in its home environment."   (Production: Joyce Zhou, Stefan Haskins, Andy Ragg, Kurt Michael Hall)

VIDEO SHOWS: INTERVIEW WITH FORMER ENGLAND RUGBY UNION CAPTAIN LEWIS MOODY / FILE FOOTAGE OF LEWIS MOODY RESENDING WITH FULL SHOTLIST STORY: Former England rugby captain Lewis Moody has been diagnosed with motor neurone disease, he said on Monday. Moody, a flanker who was in the team that won the World Cup in 2003 and took over as captain from Steve Borthwick in 2010, retired from the sport in 2012. Hugely popular with fans and team mates for his fearless approach, Moody won seven Premiership titles during a 14-year spell with Leicester. He was capped 71 times by England. "You're given this diagnosis of MND and we're rightly quite emotional about it, but it's so strange because I feel like nothing's wrong," Moody, 47, told the BBC in an interview. There is no cure for MND, a life-shortening illness in which muscles gradually weaken, stiffen and waste, according to the Motor Neurone Disease Association. Scotland's Doddie Weir and rugby league player Rob Burrow have died after battles with the illness in recent years. "I don't feel ill. I don't feel unwell. My symptoms are very minor. I have a bit of muscle wasting in the hand and the shoulder. I'm still capable of doing anything and everything. And hopefully that will continue for as long as is possible." In a statement, Rugby Football Union (RFU) CEO Bill Sweeney said the governing body was "saddened and distressed" to learn of the news. "His contribution to rugby, both on and off the field, reflects the very best of our sport's values," Sweeney added. "Our thoughts are with Lewis and his family and friends at this very difficult time as they come to terms with this diagnosis and I know the entire rugby community stands with them and will support them."
