Javier Tebas, the president of La Liga, confirmed that more than one agreement has been signed with the Saudi Intellectual Property Authority, and he indicated that there are ongoing discussions with them.

Tebas stated in his remarks: "In December 2024, we began our first collaboration to block attempts at piracy during the broadcasting of matches, and we always seek to continue this relationship."

He added: "Holding matches outside of Spain is a way to respect our fans all over the world. We want to organize a match outside Spanish territory; it could be in Saudi Arabia or the United States, where we have a large fan base eager to follow La Liga teams."

He continued: "Moving matches abroad represents a very important source of financial resources, not just on match day, but before and after as well, along with sponsorship contracts. These revenues have led us to seriously consider playing matches outside of Spain."

When asked if the Saudi league poses a threat to European leagues, he said: "I don't see it as a threat, but rather as a sports project in the making, and Saudi Arabia has the right to strive to be among the major leagues in the world."

He concluded: "It's about competition, not about threat, and we support this step. The English and Spanish leagues have a history of over 90 years, and that doesn't mean the Saudi league needs the same duration, but any major league needs between 5 to 10 years to reach maturity."
