LaLiga denounces that the regulatory modifications of the RFEF suppose “an act of aggression” to its powers

The employer asks the CSD to deny its ratification

MADRID, 23 Jun. (EUROPA PRESS) –

LaLiga has shown its “concern and frontal rejection” of the statutory and regulatory modifications proposed by the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), which it considers that they “exceed and contravene” the Sports Law and that they represent “a new act of aggression against the powers” of the employer, and has asked the Higher Sports Council (CSD) to deny their ratification.

The Delegate Commission of LaLiga, meeting yesterday, has expressed its total rejection and concern at the regulatory and statutory modifications that the RFEF intends to approve in its Delegate Commission and Assembly next week.

“These modifications exceed the limits and notoriously contravene Sports Law 39/2022, of December 30, the LaLiga Statutes (approved by the CSD) and the current Coordination Agreement, in addition to breaching Sports Law 10/1990, of October 15, which is still in force in the disciplinary and sanctioning field of sports”, LaLiga said in a statement after the meeting of its Delegate Commission, in which it includes its “total rejection and concern” of the modifications that the RFEF intends to approve in its Delegate Commission and Assembly next week.

In this sense, he stressed that the federation intends to “regulate unilaterally”, in “a clear excess of its functions”, “matters that must be coordinated with LaLiga”, as well as “regulate aspects of the professional leagues that are their responsibility”. “It also intends to modify the Professional Competition Committee in force in the Coordination Agreement or suppress the Professional Competition Arbitration Committee also provided for in said Agreement,” he added.

“LaLiga and its clubs want to show their concern and frontal rejection of a new act of aggression against LaLiga’s competitions by the RFEF, which once again intends to harm the normal functioning and development of professional competition through actions overreaching, trying to deprive professional leagues of their powers,” he stressed.

In addition, he trusts that the CSD “avoid” the approval of the proposals, which if they go ahead would mean “a serious conflict between the RFEF and LaLiga and their clubs”, and deny their ratification “in strict application of the legislation, regulations and agreement in force.
