La Liga and Spanish football could resume behind closed doors from June 5

A UEFA letter to its 55 members aims to encourage the conclusion of all competitions, with the governing body aiming to present a revised calendar by March 18.

LaLiga could restart on June 5 provided that the Spanish government gives authorisation and as long as such a move falls in line with UEFA’s plans for other leagues. And, if necessary, the remaining 11 matches in the Spanish championship will be played behind closed doors.

This is the scenario towards which LaLiga is currently working based on the current trajectory of the coronavirus, with plans to release a condensed fixtures calendar possibly by 18 May.

LaLiga and the Premier League are the UEFA members that have been pushing the hardest for the conclusion of the current championships, even if it is necessary to run into next season’s calendar. Though, for now, that is not an option being contemplated by UEFA, which remains optimistic about finishing the leagues in the summer.

UEFA’s Director of Competitions, Giorgio Marchetti, is currently working on a calendar that he wants to present in mid-May, as well as the possibility of finishing the European competitions in a 'final four' format, as has been reported by Diario AS.

However, this whole plan was called into question by comments made by UEFA president, Aleksander Ceferin, who has told German network, ZDF, that it may not be possible to resume the current seasons.
