Javier Tebas, Spanish Higher Sports Council and Real Madrid
22 October 2026
Spain’s Higher Sports Council has reportedly referred La Liga president Javier Tebas to the Administrative Court for Sport over comments comparing Real Madrid TV’s communication methods with Nazi propaganda techniques. The move represents a formal escalation of the dispute between Tebas and Real Madrid.
According to Spanish newspaper AS, the government sports body initiated proceedings without waiting for a separate complaint, asking the court to assess whether Tebas’ remarks amounted to a serious breach of sporting dignity or prestige. Real Madrid had previously demanded his resignation following the comparison. No disciplinary finding, suspension or removal from office has been announced in the supplied report.
