Segunda División Captains Demand League Suspension After Death of Jesús de Miguel

A significant tension has emerged in Spanish football following the death of Jesús de Miguel. In response to the tragedy, team captains representing clubs across the Segunda División have officially requested the suspension of the upcoming round of league fixtures.

The initiative was coordinated through the Association of Spanish Footballers (AFE), which held urgent meetings with the squads from the second tier to discuss how to proceed. Despite the collective desire among the players to halt proceedings as a mark of respect, LaLiga has reportedly declined to move forward with a postponement.

A Call for Solidarity

The players remain firm in their stance that the league should pause in light of these difficult circumstances. The situation highlights a growing divide between the professional playing body and the league authorities regarding the scheduling of matches during times of personal or collective mourning.

As of now, the league intends to continue with the scheduled program, leaving the players to consider their next steps in this ongoing dispute.
