According to the radio, the RFEF sent a letter to the European framework complaining about “government interventionism” and asked for its suspension through UEFA.
Following a kissing incident following Spain’s victory in the Women’s World Cup final against England earlier this month, RFEF president Luis Rubiales will resign in a special meeting on Friday.
Rubiales claimed the kiss on the mouth he gave to captain Jennifer Hermoso was consensual, but Hermoso denied it in a statement.
After Rubiales promised to withdraw from the assembly, the Spanish government initiated legal proceedings against him before the National Sports Court.
In response, according to Onda Cero, the RFEF then sent its letter to UEFA in which general secretary Andreu Camps asked about the European governing framework.
If that were to happen, Spanish clubs would be kicked out of UEFA competitions such as the Champions League and Europa League, while the Spanish men’s national team would also not participate in Euro 2024 next summer.
Onda Cero explained that the letter sent to FIFA, which temporarily suspended Rubiales and that Pedro Rocha, who is interim president of the RFEF, only learned of his way of life thanks to radio data.
Also on Monday, several Spanish media reported that Rubiales’ mother locked herself in a church and began a hunger strike to protest the “hunting” to which she subjected her son, which she described as “inhumane. “
Being excluded from the Champions League would be a crisis for Real Madrid and Barça, but also for the Blaugrana.
By moving to the Montjuic stadium this season while renovating the Camp Nou, the club expects to suffer losses of more than 90 million euros ($97. 25 million).
The Champions League generates TV revenue and highly prized tickets, while indebted Barca struggles to circumvent the limits of monetary fair play and sign new players.
Already this year, UEFA allowed them to participate in the elite festival in 2023/2024, despite an ongoing investigation known as the “Negreira Case” in Spain.
These are bills presented to the former vice president of the referees commission that, according to Barça coach Joan Laporta, were irreproachable.
There are 3 days left for the draw for the Champions League at the organizational level, with Barça, Real Madrid, Real Sociedad, Sevilla and Atlético qualified.
