The Spanish Football Federation has announced the officiating team assigned to manage the match between Deportivo Alavés and Real Madrid, scheduled to take place next Sunday at 4:15 PM Cairo time, at the Mendizorrotza Stadium, as part of the 31st round of La Liga.

The Spanish referees' committee has selected Juan Martínez Munuera to be the main referee for the match, while international referee Jesús Gil Manzano will be present in the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) room, which has sparked controversy as he is one of the contentious figures in previous Real Madrid matches.

The match holds significant importance, as Real Madrid aims to continue competing for the La Liga title, while Alavés seeks valuable points to escape the danger zone and ensure their survival.
