La Liga to resume on June 11th

Spain's La Liga will resume on 11 June when Real Betis face Sevilla, and next season will start on 12 September.

BBC News reports organisers want to finish the season on the weekend of 18-19 July "depending on the evolution" of coronavirus. The Spanish government's department for sport said agreements had been reached with La Liga and the Spanish soccer federation.

Football was suspended on 12 March but Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said it can resume from 8 June.

BBC News reports La Liga players started training in groups of no more than 10 last week and Tebas said the next objective is to progress to full training.

Defending champions Barcelona are two points ahead of Real Madrid at the top of the table with 11 matches remaining.
