The Spanish season will start on Saturday after players and league officials reached a deal to end a strike that had postponed the opening round of games in the top two divisions.
The deal was reached on Thursday after the players' union and league returned to meet again after talks that had started on Wednesday afternoon dragged late into the night, ending at 5.30am.
The union said the industrial action was called off after the league guaranteed €50m owed to over 200 players in unpaid wages and reached an agreement to allow players to be released from their contracts if wages were not paid.
It was the fourth strike in the history of the Spanish league and the first since 1984.
