La Liga will be back in action on June 8, Spanish Prime minister Pedro Sanchez has confirmed.
A return date had initially be pencilled in for June 12, according to La Liga president Javier Tebas.
But Spanish football fans have received a huge morale boost following the announcement from the prime minister that it will return sooner than expected.
Players returned to training in small groups this week in what was a huge step to the return.
Fans will not be allowed into stadiums, and there will be a number of strict guidelines to be followed on match days.
Prior to Sanchez’s confirmation, Tebas revealed: “We’re working to restart LaLiga from June 12 onwards, but it will be up to the health authorities to tell us when we can start.
“There will be football every day. That’s what I hope. We shouldn’t have any problems playing on Mondays across the eleven rounds of matches we have left to play.
“I hope for some sense from the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) on this, because it’s very important for us to be able to give both our national and international broadcasters, and fans across the world, football on as many days as possible to ensure as little harm as is possible.”
