Javier Tebas Exposes Confidential Real Madrid Documents on Social Media
LaLiga President Javier Tebas faces a potential disqualification from his post after publishing confidential corporate and financial records belonging to Real Madrid on his personal social media account. The disclosure occurred over two consecutive days and detailed internal payments and fiscal guarantees linking the club to an economic interest group.
Social Media Disclosures Target Real Madrid Payments
The controversy began when Tebas responded to a Real Madrid Televisión video concerning a loan from Barcelona. On September 30, 2026, the LaLiga chief published exact figures and internal accounting records on X regarding payments made by Real Madrid to Audiovisual New Aged, A.I.E. Tebas wrote that the club contributed 2,136,833.71 euros in 2014 and 541,277.23 euros in 2016, noting that he already held the league presidency during both years. While the published files omitted strict bank account numbers and IBAN codes, they revealed internal fiscal and commercial documentation.
Tebas Faces Potential Disqualification for Breaching Confidentiality
Publishing private financial invoices to answer a social media user may constitute a breach of the duty of confidentiality required of the league president. Such actions could lead to a formal complaint before the Administrative Court for Sport (TAD) and a possible disqualification. Real Madrid has previously filed complaints against Tebas for form defects and breaches of secrecy during assembly deliberations. The TAD previously opened a disciplinary file against Tebas regarding the disclosure of Barcelona’s internal audits, though that specific case was archived in July 2026 without a suspension.
