Real Madrid has confirmed its permanence in the LaLiga Delegated Commission, despite recent tensions with president Javier Tebas. The decision, which was made public in 2024, comes after the club returned to the commission after receiving the support of teams such as Valladolid, Real Sociedad and, more recently, Athletic Bilbao, who are no longer part of the commission.
The presence of Real Madrid in the Delegated Commission is crucial for the club, since it is the body where the most relevant issues are discussed before taking them to the General Assembly of the clubs. Along with the Real Madrid team, the commission has the participation of Sevilla FC, FC Barcelona, Real Betis Balompié, Deportivo Alavés and Villarreal CF, which guarantees a balanced representation of the main Spanish football entities.
According to the LaLiga press release, the allocation of members was carried out without the need for a vote, since the number of candidates coincided with the six places available for LaLiga EA Sports. In addition, new vice presidents were appointed: Miguel Ángel Gil Marín, CEO of Atlético de Madrid, will assume the position of First Vice President, while Ion Ander Ulazia, advisor of SD Eibar, will occupy the Second Vice President. Both were directly appointed after a single candidate was submitted for each vacancy.
The return of Real Madrid to the commission comes at a time of structural changes within the league, where collaboration between clubs and employers becomes essential for decision-making. Despite the differences with Tebas, the club has managed to consolidate its position in the decision-making body, which will allow it to continue influencing the policies and regulations that affect the Spanish competition.
With the Delegate Commission now established, Real Madrid is preparing to address the most pressing issues in Spanish football, from revenue distribution to the regulation of player contracts. The club will maintain its active participation in the LaLiga agenda, ensuring that its interests and those of its members are reflected in the decisions that will be presented at the next General Assembly.
