The Spanish League is set to resume on 11 June after which the following season kicks off on 12 September, says the league’s president Javier Tebas.
On Monday, Tebas disclosed that a behind closed doors derby between Real Betis and Sevilla could be the fisrt fixture to restart the campaign.
“We’re prepared and the important thing will be the day we finish the league,” Tebas told Spanish newspaper Marca.
Tebas also revealed that audiovisual testing is being carried out so fans will be treated to a choice of different viewing experiences with those watching at home being able to choose between two options – the real “silence” from the stadiums or “simulation of the crowds” with noises being played.
On Saturday, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez officially gave permission for the country’s top two divisions to resume from 8 June.
Last week La Liga players started training in groups of no more than 10 in preparation for the resumption of the league.
Football in Spain was suspended on 12 March because of the coronavirus pandemic and Tebas said the next objective was to progress to full training.
Champions Barcelona lead La Liga by two points from Real Madrid with 11 matches remaining.
