LaLiga's Tebas Referred to Tribunal Over Controversial Comments
The National Sports Council (CSD) has submitted a referral to Spain's sports tribunal regarding Javier Tebas, the president of LaLiga, following his controversial comparison of Real Madrid's communication methods to Nazi propaganda.
This referral comes after Tebas made his comments on social media on October 16, 2026, prompting Real Madrid to demand his resignation. The CSD is seeking an evaluation of whether his statements breached rules aimed at maintaining sporting dignity.
The tribunal will consider if Tebas' remarks violate Article 76.4.b of Law 10/1990 on Sport, which addresses public acts that undermine sporting decorum. Possible sanctions for such violations could include warnings, fines, or suspension. LaLiga has not yet commented on the situation.
