Javier Tebas Medrano has been president of LALIGA since April 2013. He was re-elected to this position for a further four years in 2016, 2019 and 2023. He was previously elected vice-president of LALIGA in 2001, and in 2003, he became a representative of the so-called G-30, a group comprising 30 LALIGA clubs for the joint negotiation of their audiovisual rights.

Javier Tebas' presidency of LALIGA has focused on three key areas: economic oversight, the centralised sale of audiovisual rights, and the competition’s internationalisation strategy. The first major milestone of his presidency was to successfully control the finances of Spanish professional football, allowing clubs to reduce their debts and eliminate late payments to players. Another major achievement during his term as president was the centralised sale of audiovisual rights, through Royal Decree Law 5/2015, which has allowed all LALIGA clubs to significantly increase their revenues.

Internationalisation is equally one of the hallmarks of LALIGA since the arrival of Tebas. It is based on three important pillars: a network of international offices (11 worldwide), the extensive LALIGA Global Network of delegates (44 members distributed across five continents) and three Joint Ventures in different parts of the world. Additionally, innovation, technological development and a data-driven approach centred on Business Intelligence and Analytics, as well as the fight against audiovisual fraud, are integral parts of his strategy and deeply rooted in the DNA of LALIGA and its clubs.
