LaLiga has received, in the hands of its delegate in South Korea, Sangwon Seo, the award for the organization that has contributed the most to the development of the K League, the South Korean league, in the year 2021. 

 “For LaLiga it is an honor to receive this award.

 In a ceremony held in Seoul, LaLiga received the award from Kwon Oh-Gap, K League’s president, who valued the contribution of the Spanish championship to the development of the South Korean league. Speaking about the award, a spokesperson of the K League said: “we would like to express our sincere thanks and appreciation to LaLiga. LaLiga has and is contributing to the development of our youth education programme and sharing their knowledge on the economic control system based on practical experience.
