Spain is set to join Germany and Portugal in resuming matches without spectators after Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said last Saturday that the league would be allowed to start again from June, along with other sectors of the economy.
All organised football in Spain was suspended indefinitely on March 12. Spain is among the countries hardest hit by the coronavirus, with over 280,000 infections and more than 28,700 deaths. All non-professional leagues have been cancelled, although clubs in the top two divisions have resumed training in groups of up to 10 players.He said:"Right now, that's our main goal, and if we can achieve that, then we can start to bring forward the return of the competition. Our aim is to be able to announce the first four rounds of fixtures next week."
"The government's announcement took us by surprise but it shows that professional football is very important to this country." Champions Barcelona lead La Liga by two points over nearest challengers Real Madrid, with 11 matches remaining.
