Real Madrid's LaLiga Opener Remains on Schedule After Appeal Rejection
Real Madrid, a big soccer team, wanted to start their season a little later.
They asked the people in charge of the league if they could move their first game.
They said they needed more time to rest because they played in a tournament in the US and lost.
But the people in charge said no.
They said all the teams need to start at the same time to make everything fair.
Real Madrid will play their first game as planned.
Real Madrid's request to postpone their LaLiga opener against Osasuna was rejected.
The Spanish football federation (RFEF) denied the appeal on Thursday.
Real Madrid cited a need for more rest after the Club World Cup in the US.
They lost in the Club World Cup semi-finals against Paris St Germain on July 9.
The RFEF cited the need to maintain the integrity of the competition in its ruling.
