AFE condemns collective agreement with La Liga
labor union AFE and la liga Within the next six months, both companies will need to renegotiate the current collective bargaining agreement that exists between them and which ends on June 30, 2026.
And, according to what has been learned, they will have to do it after the Spanish football players’ union denounced it against their employers. Doctor of Medicine. If it is done within the time limit specified in Article 5 of the same article, and where it specifically talks about validity, it states: “This collective agreement shall be fully extended for four consecutive years unless condemned by either party at least six months before the date of termination or its extension.”
The agreement began on July 1, 2016, and was originally supposed to end on June 30, 2020. However, it has since been extended until the final agreement, which is now in force, was sealed on July 1, 2022, for a period of four years.
The most important change in this latest agreement lies in the guaranteed minimum annual salary for both first and second division footballers.

Preseason and preparation time for the game against Miami
So now, the two parties – employers and unions – need to lay the groundwork for a future agreement to regulate men’s professional football. Also on the agenda are important issues that the team must at least prepare for in pre-season, and last August, Real Madrid’s opening day league match against Osasuna after participating in the FIFA Club World Cup caused much controversy. La Liga did not accept a proposal by white clubs to postpone the league debut of white teams to the second day of the league, and the proposal was not supported by AFE.
Another point of contention has emerged as a result of complaints from players and the association itself regarding the Villarreal vs. Barcelona dispute in Miami. concentration time, break time, etc.
The dissatisfaction was made clear by the 15-second suspension enforced by all First Division teams on the ninth day of the league. Earlier this month, La Liga filed a request for mediation with the Interfederal Mediation and Arbitration Authority, SIMA, to determine whether the actions by the players constituted a strike.

VIDEO: Verstappen conducted private tests on a Mercedes in Portugal
Four-time Formula 1 champion Max Verstappen has returned to Portugal to test his GT3 car at the start of the 2026 season.
Last year the Dutch driver took to the track several times in his touring cars; in particular, he participated in the Nordschleife competition, which he won together with his teammate Chris Lulem.
Verstappen has long expressed his passion for endurance racing and plans to compete more frequently in the form of motorsport after retiring from Formula 1. He arrived in Portugal last year, just a week after failing to win another world title against Lando Norris.
The 28-year-old driver arrived at the Portuguese Grand Prix circuit Estoril, where he tested the Mercedes AMG GT3 on wet surfaces.
Let’s remember, at the end of 2025, Verstappen’s endurance racing team announced that it had signed a contract with Mercedes to participate in future competitions.

Sponsor of the new F1 team: “How could Ferrari do this to the car?”
Revolut, the name sponsor of the Audi Formula 1 team, criticized the exterior design of Ferrari’s other name partner, HP, which carries the blue logo.
Ferrari and HP announced a multi-year title sponsorship agreement almost two years ago. The contract led to visible changes in the appearance of the Italian team’s cars, especially the appearance of the blue elements on the traditional red livery.
Revolut Marketing Director Antoine Le Nel said he thought this design decision was unsuccessful.
“Brand identity is extremely important. At Revolut, design and user experience are very important and everything needs to fit together. No offense, but what HP and Ferrari have done in terms of design is not a good solution. How to paint a red car blue?”
Le Nel also touched upon positive examples of branding in Formula 1, highlighting Mastercard’s collaboration with McLaren as well as the integration of the Google Chrome brand.

He drives with experience and skill that belies his age and always behaves as professionally as possible.
From day one we knew we had a real star. I have no doubt that his star will continue to rise.”
