In an anomalous sportive year because the World-wide will contest in winter, LaLiga already has prepared a series of steps to avoid that the players that do not have sidos summoned by his selections do not lose the rhythm of game. With more than a month of stop between 21 November and 18 December, the solution would be to organise a series of friendly parties to re-create a pre-season far of Spain.

The clubs will have to free to the players called for Catar 2022 from 14 November, what leaves them only a week to prepare for the tournament. This would leave to almost 400 footballers without activity, by what LaLiga has pactado with the AFE give them 10 days on holiday for afterwards begin one turns by United States and Mexico, with the end that the rhythm of competition keep and also increase the value of the television rights in North America.

Everything still is defining, but no descarta that some another club of Europe add to this proposal. In principle, any of these commitments will coincide with the schedules of the parties of the World-wide and will look for the form that neither 'bump' with the parties of Second Division, that unlike First will not stop and will continue playing. Like this they decided it in April the own teams of LaLiga SmartBank, those who only would lose five players of the 500 inscribed and would take advantage of to obtain better audiences.

Madrid and Barça would see affected

Nevertheless, the patronal is evaluating what do with the clubs like Real Madrid and FC Barcelona, those who yes will suffer a big quantity of drops because of the international announcements. It fits to stand out that any will be able to use to his subsidiaries to fill up the staff, since these will follow competing in his respective divisions, what would prevent them have the minimum of footballers to contest friendly. They remain four months so that all the fringes are resolved, but the proposal seems to be be very directed.
