MADRID, 10 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) –

The president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), Luis Rubiales, has inaugurated this Friday the XI Legal Conference of La Roja, held at the Granada Bar Association and in which experts in the field have discussed the recently approved Sports Law.

The dean of the Granada Bar Association (ICAGR), Leandro Cabrera, and the general secretary of the University of Granada (UGR), María Asunción Torres López, were present at the inauguration ceremony, together with the president of the RFEF.

The academic program, led by the RFEF Deputy Secretary General, Miguel García Caba, and Ignacio Jiménez Soto, Professor of Administrative Law and director of CDD-UGR, was made up of three round tables with the participation of specialists in the field.

The first table discussed ‘The disciplinary power and conflict resolution in the new Sports Law: current situation and future prospects’. The second was entitled ‘The new Sports Law and sports entities: news and challenges’. And in the third, emphasis has been placed on ‘Current legal issues in Spanish football: practical cases, jurisprudence and recent doctrine of national and international bodies’.

Luis Rubiales thanked the ICAGR and the UGR for their involvement in the conference, remarking that debate is always enriching and that the new Sports Law invites many opinions to be heard.

“The rigidity of the text must be adapted to all the needs of the parties involved, it is a very broad debate. Here are the best specialists to deal with a very interesting subject and for us it is a real honor to be here. The training is priority in sport and the RFEF is also distinguished for that,” he said.
