MADRID — Spanish soccer league La Liga is not ruling out the return of fans to stadiums this season.
League president Javier Tebas said Sunday he is in favor of having fans back as soon as regions are cleared by health authorities, contradicting an earlier message by Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez who said it would not be fair for some clubs to have fans and others not.
“Fans should be back as soon as they are allowed to be back,” Tebas said in his weekly interview with league broadcaster Movistar, adding that he does not think it is a problem that only some teams would likely benefit.
