Spanish football is preparing for losses of about one billion euros

Spanish football players are studying potential scenarios for the future of competitions in light of the ongoing crisis of the emerging Corona virus (Covid-19).

The La Liga League and the Spanish Footballers' Association hold ongoing meetings to discuss and study the hypotheses they may find themselves.

The Spanish League has estimated earlier the expected losses in the event of canceling the remaining matches for this season at 648 million euros, and this figure was updated by calculating the possibility of canceling the European competitions (Champions League and European League), bringing the number to about 957 million euros, which is the worst scenario Which everyone seeks to avoid.

Discussions include studying another scenario, which includes completing the remaining matches without the attendance of the fans, which is the closest possibility, but it will mean losing about 300 million euros.

The least bad expectations indicate that losses of approximately 156 million euros will be recorded if the season is completed in the presence of the public, after the epidemic recedes and the green light is obtained from the government.

With all this money that Spanish football will lose, the "La Liga" and the Footballers' Union will have to decide what percentage the clubs will bear and what part players will have to pay.

Spanish League President Javier Tipas has proposed to the president of the Football Association of David Aganto that the players bear 47% of the losses in the event of non-return to competitions (451 million from the 957 million), and 46% if the competitions are returned without an audience (140 million from 303 million ), And 49% if competitions were held in the presence of the public (77 million out of 156 million).

The President of the Football Players Syndicate will have to provide a response to this proposal after consulting the players, knowing that some football clubs participating in professional tournaments see that these conditions for the distribution of damages resulting from the Corona virus crisis are "more than reasonable".
