Name of the Team
9.1. The clubs may register their team in the competition with either
the name of the sports entity (the club), or with that of the
main/naming/presenting/title sponsor or with both of them,
depending on the club’s decision. In all cases, the name of the
city must be included in English in the name of the team. This
name, which must be written in Latin characters, will be the
official one in regard to all effects related to or derived from the
competition.
9.2. The name of one commercial company at most may appear in
the name of the team, without detriment to what is provided in
Article 72 that governs advertising exposure on the playing
uniforms.
9.3. No change in the name of the team will be allowed once the
season has started, unless caused by the change of the
main/naming/presenting/title sponsor and only if the club is
signing an agreement with a new sponsor for at least two years.
If the club loses the main/naming/presenting/title sponsor for
any reason not attributable to the club, the Company may waive
the requirement for the agreement with a new sponsor as
mentioned above. In whatever case, the prior approval of the
Company will be required before proceeding to the change.
