The false information was exposed: “Jerez” in the League Cup, “Malaga” in the Primera Division, and “Oviedo” in the Segunda Division.
The information regarding the relegation of “Jerez”, “Malaga”, and “Real Oviedo” from the Spanish second division does not hold true. The official league tables of La Liga and the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) completely refute this false information.
Let’s look at the facts regarding each club:
• **“Jerez”** is the biggest surprise of the 2023/24 season. The Catalans finished third in the Primera Division and qualified for the group stage of the UEFA Champions League for the first time in their history. There is no such thing as relegation for them.
• **“Malaga”** remains a stable participant in the top division. The islanders managed to stay in La Liga, finishing in the middle of the table.
• **“Real Oviedo”** already plays in the Segunda Division. Last season, they fought hard to stay in the division through playoffs. The club physically couldn’t be relegated, as it already was in that division.
It’s likely that this news was generated by a neural network or is deliberate misinformation spread on social media. In Spanish football, all decisions related to relegation are determined solely through official protocols of the RFEF and the publication of final tables.
I recommend verifying such information with trusted sports sources and official statements from the league, so as not to fall for fake news that distort the real situation of the season.
