Spanish Football strike ends

The Association of Spanish Footballers (AFE) has called off the strike scheduled for the second date of the season after reaching an agreement with representatives of clubs (LFP). After two weeks of negotiation, the championship will develop normally after the matches of the first date were suspended in the past weekend.

LFP and AFE have reached an agreement so the Spanish League can begin. The parties have agreed to extend the dialogue the time needed to develop what they have signed. The parties have described the pact as "very satisfactory". They have also urged the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) to participate in improving the bankruptcy law and the development of future audiovisual law.

The first day of the season, affected by the strike, becomes the last of the first round and will be held on 21-22 January. The first date of the second round will be played on May 2 and will be the penultimate of the season.
