During the G20 CwA Conference, the President joined other Heads of State and Governments of CwA member countries, bilateral partners, as well as Heads of International organizations to discuss the immediate enhancement of economic and business cooperation. The discussions focused on outlining concrete measures to boost investments in critical areas such as energy, trade, infrastructure, and new technologies, among others.

The G20 CwA Conference was co-hosted by the German government and German business associations.

Javier Tebas

LaLiga President Javier Tebas has announced his resignation on Wednesday, intending to initiate new elections as he seeks a fourth consecutive term.

Tebas’ decision to resign was expected, given that he has held the position since 2013, and his four-year term was set to conclude on December 23.

The process of selecting a new president typically takes about a month, and it has been expedited to avoid overlapping with the presidential elections for the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), scheduled for the first trimester of 2024.

In a social media post, Tebas stated, “A few minutes ago, I presented my resignation as President of @LaLiga prior to the end of my term, which ended on December 23. A new electoral process will open in which I will present myself, so I will request the endorsement and trust of the clubs to take on the challenges at hand.”

The 61-year-old is expected to face little competition, reportedly having the support of club presidents in the Spanish first and second divisions. He ran unopposed in the elections in 2013 and 2019.

Tebas has focused on strengthening the finances of the country’s first and second division teams, advocating for LaLiga to match the economic prowess of the Premier League. He has also worked to enhance the global visibility of LaLiga, securing long-term agreements with ESPN to broadcast games in the United States.

Tebas has been an outspoken critic of the spending power of clubs like Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain, accusing “state-owned football clubs” of violating UEFA’s Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules.
