The president of La Liga, Javier Tebas, brought Real Madrid’s request to postpone his opening match of the 2025-20126 season, to the Dam of the club players.
Madrid would have asked for a change on the calendar that offers them shortly to recover from the club World Cup this summer. Tebas barely hidden his law for the newly extended tournament, promising to “do everything possible to make sure that the club World Cup no longer happens”. The outpouring manager does not intend to let this “complete fiasco” have an impact on the competition he directs.
“I think they (Real Madrid) will have 20 days to rest instead of 21 and no other league like the Premier League for Chelsea or Ligue 1 French for PSG does not change the Games,” said Tebas AP news This week, clearly indicating that the opening of the Madrid season against Osasuna will go forward as scheduled on August 19 before a confrontation with Real Oviedo five days later.
“So I don’t think we should change the calendar for this reason, in particular by thinking that it is a question of a day.”

Xabi Alonso’s team arrived at the semi-finals of the Club World Cup, suffering from an evisceration of 4-0 in the hands of PSG on July 9. Players operating in Spain are entitled to three consecutive weeks of vacation between the seasons, leaving Madrid with only 18 days before welcoming Osasuna.
Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois deplored Tebas’s firm position on this summer tournament. “It’s always the same for La Liga,” he sighed. “To listen to these comments from a president, it is something that I have not seen in Italy, or in England, nor in the NBA and the NFL.
“It’s good if Tebas does not like the club World Cup, but it is. It is part of the FIFA calendar. We are here in competition, and it seems that this gentleman just wants to be the objective center. I have never seen a president of another competition speak like that. The Heath of the players is at stake.”
