The Federation (RFEF) and LaLiga (LFP) have reached a first agreement after years of discrepancies. Luis Rubiales and Javier Tebas have applied Article 5 of the Code of Good Practice that they signed before Irene Lozano and have resolved the calendar and the schedules for the restart of the Championship “seeking consensus agreement”. Soccer will return in June and there will be games every day of the week, also on Mondays, with a margin of 72 hours for each team. It is still working in the slots, but could have started 8:00 p.m. in the least hot areas of the country and at 11:00 p.m. in the warmest territories.
The agreement will be made public once the magistrate Andrés Sánchez Magro, one of the most knowledgeable judges in the ins and outs of football and a great fan and faithful follower of Cádiz, sanctions him in the 12th Commercial Court. Because it was in court where the League and Federation went in August last year to solve the problem. Sánchez Magro then authorized football on Fridays, but not on Mondays. It was an injunction, which can now be retouched after the agreement between the parties.
Luis Rubiales, who had remained against playing on Mondays because he understood that it is a day that did not benefit the fans, has changed his mind because the circumstances have also changed. The fact that the meetings are going to be behind closed doors eliminates the factor that the RFEF considered vital to oppose to football on Monday.
For LaLiga, being able to play seven days a week means having the ability for a team playing a game on Monday to do so again on Thursday, so it gives you the ability to ride two days a week and the possibility of close the Championship before July 29, the deadline set by UEFA for the end of the national championships since an express final of the Champions is designed from August 2, whose last match would be played on August 29 in Istanbul, provided that the scheduled schedule is fulfilled with the permission of the pandemic.
