The discrepancies between LaLiga and the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) do not cease. The body chaired by Javier Tebas has labeled the federation’s proposal to reform the arbitration body as “unacceptable”, since it does not respond “to the demands that the LaLiga clubs requested in the General Assembly on April 19”.
The organization led by Luis Rubiales proposed on Monday “that the designation bodies do not depend organically on the Technical Committee of Referees as has happened to date” and that they be “bodies belonging to the RFEF, but that they will always act autonomously as is the case, for example, with disciplinary bodies”.
For LaLiga, “the RFEF’s proposal, far from favoring arbitration independence, leads professional football arbitration towards a model that is even more dependent on the RFEF, which for LaLiga is unacceptable.”
“The clubs”, adds LaLiga in his note, “demand an independent and transparent model, as it already works successfully in countries like England, Germany or the US, with the joint participation of the RFEF, LaLiga, as well as the possibility of adding other levels such as players, coaches, etc. These models are appropriate structures to replicate, in which the management of professional arbitration is carried out through independent companies”.
The Federation also proposed “the holding of periodic information sessions with representatives of clubs and the media, in order to clarify concepts based on specific visualizations”, also offering that “coaches participate in these sessions”.
