MADRID: The Spanish football federation has pushed back a draw for the upcoming football league calendar until Friday following the arrest of its president.
The draw to decide fixture for the first and second divisions, originally scheduled for Thursday, will now take place on Friday at 12:30pm (10:30 GMT) at the federation’s headquarters, it said in a Twitter message.
The federation postponed the scheduled meeting from Thursday to Friday in the wake of the arrest of Angel Maria Villar in a major anti-corruption probe.His son Gorka along with federation vice-president and financial chief Juan Padron were also held in connection with the probe, which notably focuses on allegations of skimming profits from international matches.
