LaLiga Genuine is a social responsibility initiative whose main objective is to standardise the practice of football within the ID collective and also to encourage professional football’s commitment to the project to ensure that every club in LaLiga have their own Genuine team. The league will be played in an eight-a-side format, with games split into four 10-minute parts. Classification will not just take into account results gained on the pitch but also the positive sporting attitudes shown during the games. In every match, teams will be awarded points for comportment and Fair Play shown by players, coaches and the fans.
