overseas venues

ABU DHABI: Major League Baseball (MLB) is likely to include the United Arab Emirates (UAE) amongst the overseas venues in which the league’s overseas matches will be held from mid-2019 onwards, UAE’s The National reports.

In June next year, the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees will face off in London, fuelling the MLB’s plans to make baseball a globally played game in the long run. The league has reportedly received offers from the Middle East as hosts for their matches since a long time.
