Spain’s Prime Minister, Pedro Sanchez, declared that professional sports competitions will be allowed to return from the week of 8 June, specifically citing La Liga in his announcement.
It comes after the league’s president Javier Tebas had mentioned 12 June, a Friday, as a date they hoped would see the resumption of action, which was suspended due to the global COVID-19 pandemic.
