Real Madrid raised his complaint on Tuesday so that Villarreal-Barcelona of the 17th day of the League does not play in Miami on the weekend of next December 20-21, as the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) accepted the day before (RFEF), after LaLiga’s request. The White Club asked FIFA, which is the agency that must finally approve this initiative, which does not authorize the celebration of this meeting in the American city “without the prior consent of all the clubs participating in the competition,” the entity explained in a statement. However, the International Federation itself took steps more than a year ago so that a National League meeting could move abroad.
The Blanca entity also asked UEFA, “as a guarantor of the integrity of European competitions and normative coherence with FIFA”, which urges the Spanish Federation to withdraw or deny the application. In his opinion, in this case, the “duly justified exceptional circumstances” do not concur to take “out of the national territory” this party. And, in parallel, he demanded that the Superior Council of Sports “do not grant administrative authorization” without the unanimous acceptance of all clubs.
The Board of Directors of the Federation, which in the past had even stopped in the ordinary justice of LaLiga’s attempts to bring a first -class clash, approved on this occasion the application of the employer directed by Javier Tebas, today also vice president of the RFEF. Only the maximum representative of the Association of Spanish Footballers (AFE), David Aganzo, and Miguel Ángel Nadal, former player assigned to the Board for the development of the male selection, voted against this Monday. The initiative approved in Las Rozas implies transferring the request to initiate the procedures with the objective of requesting the final authorization from the FIFA.
“Break equality”
The Real Madrid note ensures that the transfer to Miami of Villarreal-Barcelona, in addition to not having been consulted to the rest of the teams, “violates the essential principle of territorial reciprocity that governs in double return league competitions (one match at home and the other in the opposite team), altering the competitive balance and giving an undetermined sporting advantage to the requesting clubs”.
“The integrity of the competition,” continues the white statement, “demands that all parties be held under the same conditions for all teams. Unilaterally modify this regime breaks equality between contestants, compromises the legitimacy of the results and feels an unacceptable precedent that opens the door at exceptions based on interests outside the strictly sporty The competition.
