Spanish president Pedro Sánchez declared yesterday at midday that the government is authorizing La Liga to resume in the week of June 8. He said that “the time has come to recover some of the everyday activities that we had to suspend as a consequence of lockdown”.
“I want to announce that with the backing of the Higher Council for Sport, the Spanish Government and the Ministry of Health have given the green light for La Liga to restart. The competition will start again in the week of June 8 along with our major sports tournaments. But although the ball will start rolling again, it’ll be doing so under health conditions that guarantee the safety of everyone involved,”
