Liga de Fútbol Profesional (LFP)

Spanish football clubs are prepared to stop playing in order to push through government legislation that will allow media rights for the top-tier Liga to shift to a collective sales model, according to Joan Collet, the president of Espanyol.

The Spanish Football League (LFP) has written to the country’s government to ask for the implementation of legislation that will enable the introduction of a collective media-rights sales model “as soon as possible.”

The Spanish Liga and Segunda Division’s member clubs will meet at a Liga de Fútbol Profesional assembly on Friday in a bid to push through the system under which collective broadcast rights selling will be introduced into domestic football.

Javier Tebas, president of the Liga de Fútbol Profesional, the Spanish football league, has outlined how media rights income will be split between clubs when a new collective model is introduced.

The Spanish Football League (LFP) has joined forces with the country’s Association of Media Agencies, the Mediapro agency and Prisa media company to sign an agreement intended to combat the piracy of Spanish football rights.

The Spanish football league outlined plans to launch its own channel in 2016 at a panel discussion chaired by TV Sports Markets this month at Sportel in Monaco.

The Spanish Football League (LFP) has broadened the reach of its online channel, La Liga TV, by making it available to mobile devices.

The collective sale of media rights in La Liga, the top division of Spanish football, is likely to be introduced ahead of the 2016-17 season, according to Josep Maria Bartomeu, the president of top club Barcelona.
 

A lawsuit filed by the Mediapro agency against Spanish Liga football club Osasuna for breach of contract relating to broadcast rights has been dismissed by a Pamplona court.

The LFP believes the outcome of last week’s auction for the media rights to Ligue 1 was a moderate success, and that it could not have done much better given market conditions
