La Liga could shut down in TV rights row

The race for Spain's La Liga title faces a chaotic conclusion after the country's soccer federation said on Wednesday it would cancel all domestic matches in a row over TV rights.

The proposed shutdown called by the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) will first affect the penultimate round of fixtures due to take place on May 17.

The RFEF said in a statement it will "suspend competitions of all categories starting from May 16 indefinitely".
