MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - FIFA president Gianni Infantino says a merger between Mexico's Liga MX and Major League Soccer (MLS) would be seen positively by the game's governing body and could produce 'the best league in the world'.

In December MLS commissioner Don Garber said such a prospect was"a long way away" but that"the opportunity is great". "Any discussion about organising such a competition, of course respecting the rules of member associations and FIFA and with the agreement of all stakeholders, any discussion in that respect, is interesting and we see that in a positive light," he added.
"We see the potential in North America, the economic potential and the potential in footballing terms. I trust them to take the best decisions in that regard," he added. The Leagues Cup was launched in 2019 and featured four clubs from each league in a knockout competition while the Campeones Cup, begun a year earlier, pits the champions of both leagues against each other.
