The LaLiga-AFE (Association of Spanish Footballers) Joint Commission have confirmed that only one player reported their club over non-payment of wages in the 2017/18 season. This is proof of the success of the comprehensive financial controls that LaLiga imposes on its member clubs, which aim to keep them on a sound financial footing.
Since Javier Tebas became the president of LaLiga during the 2012/13 campaign, the number of complaints brought by players over non-payment of wages has gone from 153 to just one last season. This statistic is evidence that the LaLiga president's targets are being met. Another of these targets involves reducing the debt that the clubs owe to the Spanish Tax Agency (AEAT) and, according to the LaLiga Financial Report for the 2016/17 season, this debt has been slashed from €650 million to just €96 million in the last four seasons.
Furthermore, over the 2012/13 season, 24 clubs were reported over non-payment to their players, while in the 2017/18 season just one club was reported. Among many other measures that have been established, the economic regulations now in place have created stability for both LaLiga clubs and their players.
