The coronavirus has forced to stop LaLiga and all the Spanish football and threat with avoiding that the season can restart . In front of this panorama, the RFEF poses two options
Anybody knows when will be able to go back to play to football and LaLiga is more in the air that never. The initial plan is can go back to play in April, although the coronavirus looms with preventing it, since it expects that it go to more in the weeks to come. By this reason, goes to have to decide the future of the championships of First and Second Division.
The Real Spanish Federation of Football (RFEF) already works in the solution of this problem and is expecting of the decision that take the UEFA after the meeting of this Tuesday, in which it will treat the possibility to postpone the Eurocopa of this summer to 2021. It is necessary to take into account that the plan is to play the competition in 12 distinct countries, by what the risk of contagion would be very high and the most likely is that it postpone .
In this case, the calendar would take a break and would give the option to square the dates to be able to finish the championships of the big European leagues. According to the informations desveladas by the Chain COPE, the RFEF already works on two possible stages so that LaLiga Santander and LaLiga SmartBank can decide to his champions, his qualifiers for europa, his descended and his risen.
The first, that is probably the one who all the teams and fans wish, would be to play the days postponed, are those that are, until the month of June. In this case, LaLiga would have several empty weeks in which can contest the crashes that go suspending during this crisis by the coronavirus. If the situation of alarm does not lengthen during a lot of weeks more, square the dates would be possible.
The second alternative
The second stage poses exclusively in the case that the pandemia follow propagating exponencialmente and that, therefore, was impossible to close a solid calendar that no solape with the one of the next season. In these circumstances, would create a Mixed Commission and the Real Spanish Federation of Football to decide the positions of First and Second Division.
It would be necessary to decide the champion, the promotions to First Division, the descents to Second Divisón and the teams that would participate in the next editions of the Champions League and of the Europe League. The decision could take in base or of the current classification or of which there was after finalising the first turn. In case of not arriving to an agreement, Luis Rubiales, in quality of president of the RFEF.
