Real Madrid to boycott LaLiga Extraordinary General Assembly in Dubai!

In response to the call to hold a LaLiga Extraordinary General Assembly on December 7 in Dubai, Real Madrid CF states the following:

– The notice to hold the Extraordinary General Assembly was issued last Friday, November 25 to be held “as a matter of urgency” on December 7 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, with the aim of addressing several important modifications to the statutes and internal regulations of LaLiga. The same announcement states that, with the aim of enabling attendance at the meeting, LaLiga will provide club representatives and their companions appropriate transport and accommodation.

– We believe that the meeting is illegal, given that the clubs are being called to attend the meeting more than 5,000 km away from LaLiga’s headquarters.

– It is completely unjustifiable to address in such an improvised and urgent manner, in the absence of the appropriate discussion and careful analysis, relevant modifications to LaLiga’s internal regulations.

– It is completely inappropriate and deeply incoherent for LaLiga to undertake the economic expense of transporting more than 100 people to hold an event of this nature, at this time of year, in the United Arab Emirates, when the same could be held at LaLiga’s headquarters without involving excessive costs. Clubs are going through very difficult times financially, burdened by the drop in income experienced in recent years, making it incomprehensible that excessive and unnecessary expenses should be incurred, in particular in the current economic climate.

– Real Madrid C.F. will not be sending any representative to Dubai for the reasons stated above and once again laments having to act against the irresponsible actions taken by the president of LaLiga, which are of unjustifiable economic cost and which seriously undermine the image and reputation of Spanish football.
