The tension between Spanish football institutions has erupted once again. LALIGA has issued a strong statement following the recent decision by the RFEF’s Sole Competition Judge, claiming that this resolution violates the current legal framework. The conflict arises from the suspension of the match between Rayo Vallecano and Real Oviedo, due to the poor condition of the playing field.
LALIGA defends its organizational autonomy
According to the organization led by Javier Tebas, the authority to set, modify, or suspend schedules and dates of professional matches belongs exclusively to LALIGA. The institution relies on recent rulings from the Supreme Court and the National Court, which confirm that the RFEF does not have the power to review these organizational decisions. LALIGA argues that the suspension of the match in Vallecas was a necessary measure to ensure the physical integrity of the players after receiving unfavorable technical reports.

Appeal underway and precedents
The statement highlights that the new date for the match was set after consulting both the clubs involved and the Federation itself. Therefore, LALIGA has announced that it will file an appeal against the judicial resolution, trusting that it will be overturned for disregarding a common and legally established practice. This new institutional clash adds uncertainty to the Spanish professional football calendar while awaiting a final resolution.
