La Liga Set to Resume as Spain Approves Return of Soccer Training

"We hope that football will return soon. The decision rests with the League and the Federation. But they already have our authorization for the athletes of team sports to start individual training," announces the head of the Spanish government, Pedro Sanchez, during a press conference. However, he called for the extension of the state of emergency.

"First of all, we will watch the matches on television and not in the stadiums," he indicates, thus alluding to the resumption of competitions behind closed doors.

"We will backtrack if we find that we have gone too fast. Reviewing one of the phases will not be a failure for this territory," the head of government insists.
