The Football Association’s general secretary, Alex Horne, has admitted the Community Shield could be staged overseas in future.

The season’s curtain-raiser is traditionally held at Wembley but with the contract due to expire in 2018 Horne has acknowledged playing overseas may be a possibility.

“It’s an interesting idea and we’ve seen the NFL do something similar with their games coming to Wembley,” he said.

“The NBA are doing it and we know that Spanish football and Italian football are looking at doing that with their own Supercup-type games.

“So, it’s an interesting opportunity. But, as I say, right now, we’ve got a contract with Wembley [until 2018], and the fans and the players enjoy playing at Wembley.”

Paris-St-Germain beat Lorient in the French Super Cup last week at the Workers Stadium in Beijing.
