La Liga president Javier Tebas says Spain’s domestic football season may resume as early as 28 May in the best-case scenario of options being discussed by the league.
No Spanish side has played a competitive game since 11 March, when Atletico Madrid knocked holders Liverpool out of the Champions League at Anfield.
In a conference call with international journalists, Tebas also said La Liga clubs will lose around €1bn (£884m) if the 2019-20 campaign cannot be restarted.
He also stressed:
- Three potential restart dates of 29 May, 6/7 June and 28 June were being assessed.
- Closed-door matches and reduced capacities could be implemented.
- La Liga had already lost €150m (£133m) in sponsorship and ticket revenue.
- Spanish football will not ask for any money from central government.
- Eight clubs across the first and second divisions had laid players off.
