The Spanish Football League (LFP) has approved the incorporation in its statutes of the Royal Decree that regulates the centralised sale of media rights and revenue sharing in the domestic game.

LFP president Javier Tebas said the incorporation of the Royal Decree was backed by a “significant majority” of clubs across the top-tier LaLiga and second-tier Segunda Division, with Real Madrid standing as the only club to vote against. Four teams abstained from the voting process.

“Real Madrid can appeal against decisions taken if it considers that a right is violated,” Tebas added, according to Spanish news agency EFE.

The Spanish government approved the Royal Decree, the legislation required to enable Spanish football league media-rights to be sold on a collective rather than club-by-club basis, in April.

Under the agreement, 90 per cent of the total rights income will be allocated to LaLiga clubs, with 10 per cent handed to the second tier. Of those totals, 50 per cent of the income in the top tier and 30 per cent of the income in the second division will be distributed equally. The remaining income will be split according to the clubs’ league positions in the previous five seasons in the top division, and the previous season in the second division.
