There will be no break in the League

Professional clubs can continue to market their audiovisual rights with the new sports law

The first weekend of November there is no break in the League. After the mediation of the Higher Sports Council (CSD) and, before the Culture and Sports Committee voted on the draft of the Sports Act in its last session this Tuesday prior to its parliamentary deliberation, a principle of agreement between all parties was announced so that the Congress can finally give the green light to the regulations that will replace those of 1990. The new sports law will enable clubs to continue to jointly market their audiovisual rights, an aspect that professional football considers essential for its economic survival. The centralized sale of television rights, thanks to the 2015 decree, remains in the hands of LaLiga.

The intervention of the Minister of Culture and Sports, Miquel Iceta, and the CSD chaired by José Manuel Franco, who was not present in the Congress parliamentary committee on Tuesday, has been decisive in unblocking the conflict. The war over the sports law and LaLiga claims kept Spanish football in suspense after 39 of 42 clubs, all but Real Madrid, Barcelona and Athletic, threatened exclusion.

Finally, the creation of the Super League, one of the most controversial points affecting the negotiations, has not even been addressed in the new legislation, as this is a judicial process and it will have to be a European Union court are who decide the promoted league Mainly by Real Madrid. In the case of LaLiga’s controversial deal with the CVC investment fund, it was also left out of the new sports law, as Cadena Ser revealed late in the afternoon, as it is also in court after the complaints filed by the Real Madrid, Barcelona , ​​Athletic and the Spanish Football Federation (FEF).

The government expects the sports law to come into effect in December after approval by the full Congress and ratified by the Senate. In the new sports law, the body chaired by Javier Tebas wanted to include an amendment that would allow first and second division clubs not only to negotiate the audiovisual rights of all entities, but also to have the possibility to exploit rights. However, LaLiga has had to give in and future legislation will only allow clubs to proceed with the centralized sale of television rights.
