Real Madrid has secured its continued membership of La Liga's delegated committee for another two years, allowing the Spanish giants to retain their seat until 2028.
The development comes amid continued tension between Real Madrid and the Spanish league, with the dispute between club president Florentino Perez and La Liga president Javier Tebas remaining a major issue.
Real Madrid Continues on La Liga Committee
Real Madrid will remain one of six top-flight clubs represented on La Liga's delegated committee.
The committee also includes six clubs from the second division, creating a broader representation of teams within the league structure.
Real Madrid returned to the committee in 2024 after a four-year absence and has now successfully retained its position for the new term.
The club received support from Basque sides Real Sociedad and Athletic Bilbao, helping it maintain its place on the committee.
Continued Dispute Between Real Madrid and Javier Tebas
Real Madrid's continued presence on the delegated committee comes at a time of ongoing tension between the club and La Liga.
The relationship has become increasingly strained due to the dispute between Florentino Perez and Javier Tebas.
The disagreement has intensified in recent months, particularly following events surrounding the Madrid derby at the Metropolitano Stadium.
The conflict has also been linked to other major issues, including the consequences of a recent complaint submitted to European football authorities concerning the Negreira case.
Real Madrid's Position on the Committee
Real Madrid has become known for taking an opposing position during several delegated committee meetings.
The club is represented at the meetings by general manager Jose Angel Sanchez, who continues to communicate the club's reservations regarding several proposals and decisions put forward by La Liga.
The club will therefore continue to have a direct role within an important body responsible for dealing with league matters despite its ongoing disagreements with La Liga officials.
