La Liga clubs have threatened to go on strike next weekend, due to a law that would potentially threaten the league itself.
Both the PSOE and Partido Popular, the ruling and the main opposition in Spain, spoke out over the Super League last season. They made commitments in order to protect the existing structure of La Liga, and went on to state that they would allow the league to deny clubs that supported unauthorised competitions a licence to participate and operate.
La Liga clubs threaten strike over Super League law
The clause that would allow La Liga the power to punish Barcelona and Real Madrid, the only public supporters of the Super League, has recently been retracted. And this is why the other clubs are threatening strike since they, along with the league, are strongly opposed to the Super League.
Clubs met with the High Sports Committee (CSD) last week, according to Partidazo Cope. However, these concerns seem to not have been heard or enacted upon.
La Liga president Javier Tebas has called for an Extraordinary General Assembly of the La Liga clubs on the 27th of October. The meeting should give us more clarity on the situation, and determine for once whether the clubs will go on strike.
However, with two of the biggest clubs in the world in conversation, supporters within the government are natural. And this seems to have been one of the reasons behind the clause being scrapped.
