LaLiga Ordinary General Assembly staged at the Vicente Calderon

The Vicente Calderon Stadium today played host to LaLiga's Ordinary General Assembly, which was attended by officials from all its member clubs and public limited sports companies (SADs) except Granada CF and RC Celta, who voted by proxy.
