12 Spanish football clubs are to lose their category in the league and will be relegated because they have been unable to pay their players.

They teams are Alicante, Castellón, Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa, Ejido, Palencia, Rayo Vallecano B and Universidad de Las Palmas GC, which now all fall to the Third Division.

Benidorm, Cerro Reyes, Unión Estepona, Jumilla and La Muela fall even further from the third and lose the category of being in the national league, and return to their regional competitions.

It comes as part of the General Rules of the Spanish Football Federation which says that the clubs of the Segunda B division have to fully meet or guarantee their contracted economic obligations with their players, technicians or other clubs. Those who do not meet that requirement are relegated to the third division under rule 192.2.b.

It’s a clear indication of the economic problems in Spanish football in the lower divisions. In a separate move some players from clubs in the Liga BBVA and Liga Adelante have started legal action to obtain their wages. The time limit for others to make a denuncia ends on July 31.
