In a recent development, La Liga president Javier Tebas has stated that he is in favour of hosting matches with fans allowed to enter stadiums as soon as possible. Notably, the Spanish League is set to resume this month after the coronavirus enforced break with matches set to be held in front of empty stadiums.

As the Spanish government are looking to lift the restrictions imposed in the country, Tebas believes that fans could attend matches in some cities before others, depending upon the coronavirus situation in the region.
