Atlético’s fans have reiterated their opposition to the Spanish Super Cup continuing to be held in Arabia “in relation to the scandalous news that appeared in the public light during the last daysrelated to the embarrassing organization” of the tournament, as specified in a statement published this afternoon. It also asks for “the intervention of the Higher Sports Council (CSD)“about the Spanish Football Federation (FEF) and that meditation leads to the president of the second”to the resignationAfter what happened in the last week.
Below is the full statement from The International Union of Supporters Clubs on the ‘Super Cup Case’:
“Just like we did in 2019, we reiterate our strongest opposition to the aforementioned competition being held outside of Spain. This constitutes an absolute contempt for Spanish fans, who are robbed of the possibility of attending one of their competitions with the sole and repugnant objective of obtaining an economic benefit for its organizers. Maybe legal, but very unethical and not aesthetic at all.
The fact that the Super Cup takesIn addition, to a country with serious shortcomings in social matters and dubious respect for human rights, they cause all this to produce a frontal rejection in the fans, who see how, once again, they are ignored and ignored by an RFEF that It seems more concerned with doing business than with ensuring the cleanliness and integrity of the competitions it organizes.
As to whether all the goings-on of Rubiales and his partner Piqué whether or not they are legal, let justice do its work. Only when the courts rule will we know.
In the meantime, we demand the immediate intervention of the CSD in its obligatory function of control and guardianship of the RFEF, investigating its ultimate consequences and reporting the result to public opinion in a clear and transparent manner.
manipulation and adulteration of the competition in past editions seems evident.
It was about the two of always benefiting, so that those responsible for the organization also benefit. Nothing new, on the other hand, in Spanish football, so accustomed to decades of adulteration of competitions for the benefit of the two misnamed greats.
The still president of the RFEF says that as a result of Simeone’s statements (which we subscribe to point by point) he has reflected. We encourage you to keep doing it so that way comes to the inevitable conclusion that he must resign for the good of Spanish football.
Less never came to more, and the consequences are being paid – literally – by the fans. While you reflect, you should use the time between business and business to explain to fans if these same bad practices now known They have also been made using the image, name and brand of the Spanish Soccer Team. That cannot be ruled out.
Football belongs to the fans and not to those who manage it. The hobby is feeling, and managing the feeling with the fan in mind should be the main, if not the only, objective to be achieved by those who, legitimately or not, have it in their hands.
Everything else is mercantilism, hustle and bustle, business and vested interests that inevitably end up producing corruption. And we must avoid it before we fans get fed up with everything and everyone, and we decided to turn our backs on football. Then, the great circus that they have turned this sport into will collapse like a house of cards, and those who only come to football to use it will have to leave it through the back door, with their tail between their legs and with the Law stepping on them the heels.
The fan is the only disinterested party in the world of football andFor this reason, their presence -with voice and vote- in the management and direction bodies of clubs and institutions cannot be delayed even one more day. It is not an option, but a right. Right for which we will never stop fighting from La Unión; As we will never stop denouncing corruption in football, wherever it occurs and whoever it affects. There is no doubt that power and money corrupt, but only those willing to allow themselves to be corrupted. And it is everyone’s responsibility to identify the corrupt and remove them from football.
Finally, we ask the sports authorities to intercede so that common sense prevails and the Spanish Super Cup is played again in our country, with the presence and participation of Spanish fans. In equal conditions and only for sporting merits. Without manipulations, without intermediaries and without commissions”.
