As the 2024-2025 La Liga season begins on August 16 in Spain, an arbitration rule will appear in the championship. This seems like a good decision for players during matches overall.
This is what was supposed to happen, due to the behavior of certain players on the pitch. The 2024-2025 La Liga season begins on August 16 in Spain, and an arbitration rule will appear in the championship.
From now on, only the team captain will be able to discuss possible disagreements between the different behavior of the players during the match with the referee. Any player who breaks the rule could perhaps find himself sanctioned with a yellow card or, if the act is excessive, with a red card. This is not yet notified in the new regulation, which comes into force in August, but could happen.
If the rule is in itself a positive point which seems to be improved for certain clubs in the world of football in Spain, this is not the case for all. Big rivals such as FC Barcelona, Real Madrid, or even Sevilla FC and Betis will be forced to limit themselves to simple words to their captain during big meetings so that the main person concerned moves to the referee in order to declare what he thinks in view of the situation.
