LALIGA PRESIDENT, JAVIER TEBAS REVEALS THAT ITS LEAGUE WILL BEGIN ON THE 8th OF JUNE AFTER A 3MONTH BREAK

The government’s department for sport has confirmed that La Liga is set to resume following a three-month suspension due to the coronavirus pandemic on June 11 with the Seville derby between Sevilla and Real Betis.

On Saturday, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez gave permission for the country’s top two divisions to resume from June 8.

Games are expected to be played every day up to the end of the season on July 19, with European competitions expected to be played after the end of the domestic leagues.

La Liga president Javier Tebas earlier revealed the 2020/21 season is set to begin on September 12.

Discussions are also ongoing between league officials over the possibility of giving fans an option to watch the original feed from the empty stadiums or an alternative one with crowds superimposed on the stands, similar to those in video games.

Champions Barcelona lead La Liga by two points from Real Madrid while there are just five points separating clubs competing for European qualification, from third to seventh spot.
