TV operators are the main source of financing of football clubs in Spain. Currently, the division has caused a split between the clubs. Real Madrid and Barcelona receive most of that money. The Secretary of State for Sport, Miguel Cardenal, has confirmed the information advanced by January WORLDWIDE: we are working on a new law to collect the joint selling of the rights of the equipment. Yes, it seems that will remain controversial because the distribution of the money will continue deciding the clubs.

Football in Spain also suffered its own bubble. It has been paying a significant amount more than the rights of clubs and even has lived a ‘Football War’ between Mediapro and Prisa TV, the two leading media operators. Cardinal confirmed yesterday in ‘Play of the 12′ of the cope that have been working in the new Sports Act, which collect bundling in a single package, the rights of all equipment .

“The issue is important because this is the main source of funding for football teams and, therefore, is a priority in the regulation of football,” said Secretary of State for Sport. “The idea is that the new standard bundling collect. Buy the product that you buy one package with all teams “, told Cope microphones.

Several clubs (Sevilla, Atletico Madrid, Valencia …) have complained that it takes an unequal distribution that prevents them from competing on equal terms with Real Madrid and Barcelona. Asked if the new law will impose a more egalitarian distribution, Cardinal replied: “ cast have to decide what clubs . That’s the key joint marketing. Until now everyone sells at its own it is the market that puts a different price for some and for others. now you sell the complete package, which belongs to the competition as a whole, and is the competition that decides as distributed. It is logical to think that since the sale is joint margins among those receiving more and receiving less narrow shop “.

Regarding

continuity game open, whose rights now belong to Four Cardinal has no doubts: “ Of course I want to have game open . I collected the current Spanish legislation and I think that is a positive thing. ” On the possibility of reissuing on Saturdays (this season airs on Fridays or Mondays), the Secretary of State does not shut the door. “The operator has rights that may interest you.’s Obligation to make matches on any given day has never been referred to in the Act “.

In recent days, there has been some information that pointed to the possibility of Al Jazeera could bid for the rights of the Spanish League . “It’s great that Spanish football, which is very attractive for excellence that has appeal to foreign investors as in other sectors. I do not scare the idea , is what we to get. Sport is now also an important driver of economic activity. “
