Luis Rubiales, the former president of the Spanish football federation (RFEF), was arrested on Wednesday as part of a corruption investigation.
He was released soon after being detained on arrival in Madrid from the Dominican Republic.
He is suspected of receiving illegal commissions when negotiating a lucrative deal to stage the Spanish Super Cup competition in Saudi Arabia.
Prosecutors are seeking a two-and-a-half-year jail term.
Mr Rubiales denies any wrongdoing.
Rubiales is also due to go on trial for sexual assault for kissing the player Jenni Hermoso on the mouth after last summer’s World Cup final.
