Real Madrid told to wait and see as RFEF backtracks on request to postpone La Liga season opener

UEFA Super Cup

Paris Saint-Germain

Tottenham

<p>According to <a href="https://cadenaser.com/nacional/2025/07/08/la-rfef-tiene-dudas-sobre-el-aplazamiento-del-real-madrid-osasuna-de-la-jornada-1-quieren-esperar-a-la-semifinal-ante-el-psg-cadena-ser/" target="_blank"><em>Cadena SER</em></a><em>,</em> Madrid’s request to postpone their La Liga season opener against Osasuna is still up in the air. The Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) wants to make a final decision after the semi-final against Paris Saint-Germain. The club had <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/real-madrid-ask-la-liga-delay-opening-game-of-season-club-world-cup-agreement-osasuna/blt963f105f5a94781c" target="_blank">formally asked La Liga to reschedule the match</a>, which is originally set for August 19, to October 29, citing their participation in the Club World Cup, which leaves them with fewer rest days before the league kicks off.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>In a letter sent to La Liga president Javier Tebas, the club reminded him of earlier talks that had left the option open if their Club World Cup campaign created scheduling problems. Before the tournament began, Madrid had already discussed the possibility with Atletico Madrid and La Liga, and Tebas indicated the issue would be discussed if needed.</p><p>While Tebas has expressed his reluctance to approve fixture changes, if Los Blancos reach the final, which is set for July 13, the league president might have to agree with the club's request, considering Osasuna have already agreed to the proposed change.</p><div data-name="DAZN" class="affiliate-button-container theme-1"><div class="affiliate-button"><img height="40" width="72" src="https://eu-images.contentstack.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/blt2a657c326f3152f3/65709dfdfcc91a04075bd960/DAZN.png" class="logo" style="width: 72px; height: 40px;"><span class="affiliate-text">Watch every FIFA Club World Cup game free on DAZN</span></div><a href="https://prf.hn/click/camref:1100lfsPh/destination:https://www.dazn.com/welcome/fifa-club-world-cup" target="_blank" class="affiliate-button-link">Stream now</a></div>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Madrid have already approached and had the green light from Osasuna regarding the possible delay and the RFEF had reportedly given their approval of the change. Apparently, that is no longer the case.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>All eyes now turn to the semi-final clash with PSG in the Club World Cup. A win over the French side will increase the pressure on the RFEF to approve the postponement. However, if Madrid are eliminated, there is a better chance the match on August 19 will go ahead as planned.</p><p></p>
