LaLiga, officially known as LaLiga EA Sports for sponsorship reasons, is the top professional football league in Spain, featuring 20 clubs competing annually from August to May. Founded in 1929, it is one of the world’s most prestigious leagues, renowned for its technical quality, competitive balance, and global stars like Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Diego Maradona. Each team plays 38 matches, with the champion earning the title and qualification for European competitions, while the bottom three teams face relegation to Segunda División.
