Betting Advertisement Forbidden In Spain Because Of Spain's State of Emergency Until At Least June 21
Under Article 37 of the Royal Decree of the State of Emergency in Spain, the advertising of gambling is banned. Adverts for gambling and betting can only be shown between the hours of 1:00 and 5:00 in the morning.
The government approved the banning of gambling advertising in order to protect the most vulnerable people during lockdown
There are eight LaLiga teams with betting main sponsors - Leganes, Valencia, Sevilla, Osasuna, Levante, Alaves, Granada and Real Mallorca. Many others have betting logos elsewhere on their shirts.
Spain's State of Emergency was introduced as part of the country's response to the coronavirus pandemic. It runs until June 21. There will be three matchdays until June 21.
"The government approved the banning of gambling advertising in March in order to protect the most vulnerable people during lockdown," sources close to the Minister of Consumer Affairs have told MARCA.
"The overexposure to this sort of advertisement threatened to generate a public health problem."As the risk decreases and always considering the maximum criteria of public health, the necessary measures to advance into the new normal will be taken."
The ban of betting sponsors until June 21 does not only affect the logos on shirts but all other places where betting ads are displayed in the stadium and on TV.

Nike Confirms Release of Gold Mercurial CR7 2026 World Cup Boots
Nike has officially confirmed the upcoming release of the highly anticipated, special-edition signature boot for Cristiano Ronaldo.
Ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the American sportswear giant will launch a spectacular all-gold Mercurial specifically designed for the Portuguese superstar. This exclusive release is scheduled to drop just before Portugal kicks off their opening group-stage match.
The decision to equip the forward in a striking all-gold colorway is a deliberate and symbolic tribute by the brand's design team. Speaking on the upcoming launch to The Athletic, Nike representative Odinga Nimako, a senior figure at Nike’s global football footwear team, explained the specific reasoning behind the glamorous aesthetic. "The fact that Ronaldo is playing his sixth World Cup, we wanted to celebrate the legacy he has set and the way he continues to add to his legacy," Nimako stated. "And there is no better color than gold to help do that."
It remains to be see if Cristiano Ronaldo will wear the golden boots in a match - we expect him to wear them in training only.
