Spanish Football Federation Chairman Luzan has been in office for 10 months. When attending an event, he talked about La Liga overseas games and other topics.

About the work since taking office

We are satisfied with the work in the past 10 months, but there is still much to do. Football is an important part of social cohesion and the economy, and for the first time in history there is equality between men and women on the Spanish Football Federation's board of directors.

About unity in Spanish football

It is vital that all parties involved in football can unite as one, because there is no other way. La Liga must be involved, as must the Women's Football League, and of course the major unions. Eventually, we all sat down at a table.

About the importance of football in Spain

Every weekend, more than four million people are active around football, which is a mass sport.

About the status of Spanish men's and women's football teams

Spain ranks first in the FIFA rankings, with both men's and women's football teams reaching the top.

About the King's Cup

The new competition format is more attractive, with more than 120 teams participating. For Sevilla, the economic benefits brought by the final exceed 80 million euros.

About holding the Spanish Super Cup in Saudi Arabia

Recently, there has been a lot of discussion about holding games overseas, especially the La Liga overseas game in Miami. The tournament, organized by its previous president, generated €1 million in revenue during its last edition in Morocco. Now, we have moved to Saudi Arabia and are expected to bring in more than 50 million euros in revenue, half of which will be distributed to participating teams. This year, the tournament will bring in revenue of 26 million euros for domestic clubs at all levels. Without this income, they would not be able to obtain such generous funds. So I find it puzzling that some journalists consider the event in Miami to be more serious than the event in Saudi Arabia. How can we support clubs at all levels in the country?

Controversy regarding La Liga’s overseas games

We only processed the applications of two clubs. There should be no winners or losers on issues like this, but unity. The promotion of La Liga outside Spain is very important, but also thanks to those who create resources for us, such as audiovisual rights revenue. Launching the promotion plan of La Liga in a big country like the United States, this may be one of the best league promotion activities in the world. I think the promotion of La Liga on a global scale is crucial, and we need to continue to promote overseas promotion efforts. Incidentally, the government has been virtually absent throughout this entire process and has only now stepped in.
