MADRID, 7 Ago. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) announced this Monday that it has published the call for a new line of aid for the clubs of the First Federation, with an amount of 75,000 euros per team, in order to help “in the employment of the players professionals of the category and the reinforcement of the rights and guarantees of the players in the competition”.
As indicated by the RFEF, this measure, with which it offers three new million euros in aid for the First Federation, for a total of practically 13 million, establishes a series of requirements to guarantee the rights of the players and is framed “in the great economic support” that it gives to the clubs of the First Federation and “in the commitment to consolidate the category within the channels and requirements established” by the body chaired by Luis Rubiales.
Following the award of the television rights for the third category of Spanish football for 15,000,000 euros in three years, a new program to promote the assets of the clubs has been implemented, increasing the amounts that the RFEF offers to each club in the 85,000 per year at 100,000 for each team that decides to voluntarily participate in the asset program.
The RFEF pointed out that this call complements the measures already introduced in the Competition regulations and in those of the Mixed Commissions to “guarantee the transparency of the clubs with the contracts with the players, the protection of the labor rights of the players and the adoption of important measures when said requirements of transparency and adequate governance of the labor and economic relations of the competition are not met”.
“The RFEF and, especially its president, are committed to the transparency of the economic control system and to the protection of the labor and personal rights of players of all categories and especially those who make their profession of football,” remarked the federation.
For this reason, it has been the first Spanish federation that has introduced in its Statutes and its Internal Regulations “all the protection rights of athletes and professional athletes that the current Sports Law provides”; and it has “completed and improved” it with this call for aid that is conditioned, “among other things to having and presenting the Occupational Risk Prevention Plan, the Equality Plan and the Paternity Protection Plan”.
The RFEF understands that “the requirements established exclusively” in its General Regulations and in the Competition Rules and Bases require, “in these still incipient moments of the competition”, a new federative aid “to be able to be fulfilled by the clubs of the category”.
“The RFEF takes a new and important step forward in economic collaboration through aid to the clubs and protects both the rights of the players and the necessary guarantees for an adequate system of economic control of the competition,” the organization stated.
