The Spanish
Football League
(LFP) president
has insisted that
Barcelona will no
longer be able to compete in La Liga if Catalunya gets
independence.
The region has long campaigned
for separatism from the rest of the
country due to their cultural and
linguistic differences. Barca have long been a symbol of
Catalan independence but LFP
chief Javier Tebas says that they
would not be able to continue in
the Spanish football system under
current regulations. "I don't like to speculate about
impossibilities. Catalunya will
always be Spain," he is quoted as
saying by AS.
"And I'm not only worried abut
Barcelona, but Nastic, Girona, Espanol, Llagostera and Sabadell. If
the Sports Act remains the same,
they could not compete in our
league.
"We would have to change the
Sports Act. Andorra, for example, play in our competitions because
the law specifically states they can.
There's an additional provision.
"Initially, Barcelona could not
compete in La Liga unless there is
an inter-that state agreement."

to the faith barca fans, whatz ur say on this

40% of the Spanish national team players are also Catalans.

chorlay: if dis should finally come true, na bacca go dey collect cotalunya league cup for d next 20 year b dat

and u think barca wud still be recognise as one of d top teams without much competition dat d laliga offers?

Catalans are almost saying, we are not Spanish, we hate Spain but we ask to play in la Liga !! What kind of joke is this ?!

Why the Premier League never allowed Celtic and Rangers to join? After all they are British too!

Barcelona can play vs Espagnol and few other small Catalan teams

A team of a different sovereign nation can choose to compete in another league so far as all the criteria are met. Monaco competes in French ligue one even though she's a wholely independent principality. Swansea choose to compete in EPL, even though Wales have it's own league.

I reckon, even if the Catalan nation gains their independence from Spain, Barca will choose to remain in the Spanish football, even if it means going back to the lowest level and starting all over again.

Cardiff and Swansea are Welsh teams not English. So whats your point? Even Monaco is a principality of her own but plays in the French league.

And that would also mean more la liga titles for madrid too.

Atlist Spain we now have top 4 if it eventualy happen.
