LFP president Tebas hopes for 15th August Liga BBVA start

Javier Tebas, president of La Liga, has reiterated his desire for the new Liga BBVA season to begin on the 15th of August, which is "better for TV rights".

Tebas, while at the presention of the 'LFP World Challenge', declared that he hoped that the disagreements between La Liga, the RFEF and the AFE could be solved "briefly."

The LFP have confirmed that "the sale of the TV rights for the 2015-2016 season" is guaranteed, despite "the fact that Real Madrid are not in agreement with the figures."

Tebas and president of the organisation Miguel Cardenal, this Thursday at the Consejo Superior de Deportes, presented the agreement that La Liga had reached with Mahou for the sponsorship of the "LFP World Challenge" for the end of 2016.

The "LFP World Challenge" aims to promote the international stature of Spanish football and has since 2014 sent different teams from the Liga BBVA to play around all of the world.
