The challenge for La Liga is to make Indian fans follow the Villarreals, Sevillas and Espanyols of Spanish football. Also, let’s not forget, when Real or Barcelona are playing, they mostly do so against other La Liga clubs. Also, we will bring the (less popular) clubs to play friendlies in India,” said Javier Tebas, president of La Liga.

It is not an objective to find Indian investors for La Liga clubs, but if that happens, we will support that,” he added.
