The good harmony between the Liga and the association was organized in arbitration, One of the hot spots over the past year. The two institutions have closed agreement on a new service agreement for members. There will be no reduction in salary, as some clubs have asked, although there will be no rise. The judges will keep their salary , although it will be re-evaluated season by season with the IPC. An agreement to which we must add the initiative to publish video audios since last week in Spanish football.
Arbitration tension reached its highest levels last season. Collegians came to consider the strike to demand respect from the clubs, while The Liga and the league are engaged in a new war. In this context, the old union, led by Luis Rubiales, intended to renew the arbitration-related bodies by removing the Employers ‘ Association from the designations and The clubs demanded that the Spanish braids cease to be among the best paid in the world. A pulse experienced by the first half of 2023 and led to the impossibility of its renewal in June, when it expired. While some criticized that the level of referees was not enough , the chief technical advisers defended himself by the numbers: the Spanish College was the most demanded by UEFA and FIFA For international and big matches. Despite what If there was an agreement this summer it was in the decision to implement a semi-automatic infiltration , but it was not possible for the current seasonIt was agreed very late ( partly because the VAR judging process was judicial in the battle between RF-Mediapro) that: Its implementation would have been impossible to arrive before the first third of the season, in addition, it would entail additional costs that the Liga considered too high. It will be semi-automatic already in the 2024-25 season.
The first and second class clubs voted last April on a questionnaire They proposed a radical change in the existing system, But it affected the curls economically. 88% of the teams were in favor of the technical committee of referees becoming independent of the Russian Federation and creating an independent organization, as is happening in Germany, England and the United States. 71 % believe that the amount paid to the Federation for arbitration does not correspond to the quality of the services provided and 59% supported the creation of a variable wage system so that referees are paid according to the performance of their work.
This position of the clubs led the Liga at the first meetings with the federation to demand a reduction in the salaries of judges; while the CTC determined its position on the preservation of the fees of the last agreement. An amount of about 264,504 euros per season (167,904 dollars on a fixed basis and 4,830 per game, not counting the 2,415 euros he would receive per game if set by VAR). These fees are higher than those received on average in the Italian league (170,000 dollars), the Bundesliga (194,000 dollars), the English Premier League (159,708 dollars) and the French Ligue 1 (145,208 dollars).
The agreement between the parties came at the end of 2023, when relations between the Liga and the Russian Federation began to normalize. Javier Tebas and Pedro Rocha organized on several occasions a rapprochement that left behind the Cold War that they maintained during Rubiales ‘ time in the Union. In front of this new scenario, The CTC agreed that the acoustics of VAR, Only in cases where the referee intervenes and the presence of the referee in front of the screen is required, They are announced at the end of each day. One of the biggest requests of the Liga is that they were able to move forward. While the arbitrators, for their part, fulfilled their main request And what will almost be a red line for them: Keep their salaries and reassess them year after year based on the Consumer Price Index. The agreement leaves both sides as winners.
