LaLiga had appealed against global soccer governing body Fifa's extension to the international window for World Cup qualifiers by two days because it meant players participating in the matches would be unable to turn out for their clubs when Spain's domestic fixtures resume on September 11.
LaLiga criticised the CAS ruling in a statement, calling Fifa's decision a"plain declaration of intent to intervene in autonomous national leagues". The league also responded by shifting fixtures for the corresponding weekend, moving Real Madrid-Celta Vigo and Espanyol-Atletico Madrid from Saturday September 11 to Sunday September 12 and requesting for Sevilla-Barcelona and Villarreal-Alaves, both set for September 11, to be postponed.
The fixture change allows players involved in the World Cup qualifiers to play for their clubs but causes more disruption to the teams, who are all due to play in the Champions League the following Tuesday and Wednesday.
