LaLiga launches trial with referees explaining decisions publicly after Sunday night match
LaLiga, the RFEF and the referees' union have agreed a trial in which match officials will speak publicly after games. The first test will involve only the Sunday night late kick-off, the Basque derby between Athletic Club and Real Sociedad, and if it works it will be extended to every match. LaLiga has allocated €500,000 as compensation for the referees involved. In Spain, referees have already spoken to the media before the Copa del Rey final, but it had never happened at the end of a match. Before the 2025 final, Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea wept while describing the impact of criticism from Real Madrid TV.
