LALIGA
Liga Nacional de Fútbol Profesional ("LALIGA"), Spanish Tax Code (CIF) G-78069762, is a private-law sports association registered at Calle Torrelaguna 60, 28043 Madrid, Spain. It was constituted on 27 July 1984 and operates as a sports association governed by Spanish sports legislation (Articles 12 and 41 of Law 10/1990, of 15 October, on Sports, as subsequently updated by Law 39/2022, of 30 December, on Sport).
Unlike a commercial company, Liga Nacional de Fútbol Profesional is not incorporated with share capital or shareholders. Spanish sports law requires that all Sociedades Anónimas Deportivas (sports public limited companies) and clubs competing in the top two tiers of men’s professional football in Spain belong to it. As of the 2025/26 season this comprises 42 member clubs across the Primera División (LALIGA EA SPORTS, 20 clubs) and Segunda División (LALIGA HYPERMOTION, 22 clubs).
Liga Nacional de Fútbol Profesional’s principal activity is organising and administering these two national professional football competitions and, under Royal Decree-Law 5/2015, centrally negotiating and commercialising the audiovisual and broadcasting rights to them on behalf of the member clubs. It also carries out related commercial activities, including sponsorship, licensing and international promotion of Spanish professional football, through a group of subsidiary companies.
The association’s own governing bodies are its General Assembly, formed by the member clubs, and an elected President. Javier Tebas Medrano has held the presidency since 2013 and was re-elected for a fourth consecutive term in December 2023, for a term running to 2027.
Aggregate revenue reported across all LaLiga clubs for the 2023/24 season exceeded €5 billion, according to LaLiga’s own published season figures; this is a competition-wide, club-level figure and should not be read as the entity-level or consolidated turnover of Liga Nacional de Fútbol Profesional itself, which has not been independently verified from public, non-filing sources.

Shareholders
Shareholders of Liga Nacional de Fútbol Profesional (LALIGA)
Liga Nacional de Fútbol Profesional is registered in Spain as a private-law sports association (asociación deportiva de derecho privado), CIF G-78069762, not as a Sociedad Anónima, Sociedad Limitada or other capital company. Associations of this type are not incorporated with share capital and do not issue shares, so the concept of "shareholders" in the traditional commercial sense does not apply to this entity.
Instead, Spanish sports legislation (Law 10/1990 and Law 39/2022) requires the association to be exclusively and compulsorily composed of its "members": the Sociedades Anónimas Deportivas and clubs competing in the Primera División and Segunda División of men’s professional football. As of the 2025/26 season this comprises 42 member clubs. Membership functions as the association’s governance base — each member club participates in the General Assembly, which elects the President and approves the association’s statutes — rather than as an equity or ownership interest, and membership carries no shareholding percentage, dividend right or transferable ownership stake.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
Because Liga Nacional de Fútbol Profesional has no share capital, shareholders or equity owners, the ultimate-beneficial-ownership (UBO) concept, which is built around thresholds of shares, voting rights or capital ownership, is not applicable to this legal entity. No UBO filing or disclosure exists for it in the Spanish Registro Mercantil framework because associations of this kind fall outside that regime.
Data availability
Not public / not applicable: Liga Nacional de Fútbol Profesional’s legal form as a private sports association means it has no shareholder or UBO register to disclose; its member-club structure is set out in its statutes and confirmed by its own legal notices, rather than in company-ownership filings.

Data availability
Current only / partial: Spain’s sports-association framework does not require LNFP to publish a full officer register comparable to a company’s Registro Mercantil filing. Only the President’s identity and tenure are reliably confirmed from official and reliable press sources; other governance roles (e.g. Assembly officers, legal representatives) are not independently verified here.

Group Structure
Group structure of Liga Nacional de Fútbol Profesional (LALIGA)
Liga Nacional de Fútbol Profesional is the parent sports association at the head of a small group of Spanish and international commercial subsidiaries that carry out LaLiga’s commercial, technology and content-protection activities. As an association, LNFP itself has no ultimate corporate parent above it. Its principal identified subsidiary is LaLiga Group International, S.L. (formerly named LaLiga Tech, S.L.), which LaLiga’s own legal notices describe as "majority owned by" Liga Nacional de Fútbol Profesional; the exact ownership percentage is not disclosed in the sources reviewed. LaLiga Group International, S.L. in turn has its own subsidiaries carrying out technology, anti-piracy and international-market activities. A separate, non-commercial entity, Fundación LaLiga, was established by LNFP as its founding entity but is a foundation with no shareholders, and is therefore not a corporate subsidiary. Information is current to LaLiga’s own published legal notices and audited group accounts as of 2026-09-22.
