Spanish football officials and players have raised concerns regarding the impact of international breaks on league scheduling. RCD Mallorca manager Luis García advocated for LaLiga Hypermotion to consider pausing during these periods, noting that the increasing competitiveness of the second division makes it difficult for clubs to manage the absence of players called up to national teams.

Despite these concerns, LaLiga Hypermotion has proceeded with its schedule. While the top-tier LaLiga EA Sports entered a three-week break due to a new 16-day FIFA international window, the second division continued through its seventh and eighth matchdays. This decision was driven by the league’s 42-match format and federation regulations that prevent rescheduling matches if it disrupts the established calendar order.
