The Royal Spanish Football Federation has met today with the presidents of the territorial federations to study “how and when” national non-professional competitions can begin, a meeting in which it has conveyed the “essential” need to “have the maximum guarantees “to be able to start the next season. That is why he has called for the implementation of a plan with “health and legal” guarantees in the face of the threat of coronavirus. At the same time, he has denied that he has requested that all these leagues start from 2021, as had been speculated at first.
“The RFEF considers it essential to have the maximum guarantees to immediately start next season’s competitions and calls, together with the other sports federations for teams, for a ‘Transversal Plan’ endorsed by the public authorities that offers these health guarantees and for the players and the other actors, the club officials and the organizers, “the body said in a statement.
At the same time, he has defined as “completely false” that he has at some point put on the table that non-professional competitions do not begin until January 2021 “or later”, and stressed that “unfortunately” already it is “accustomed to these campaigns with repeated falsehoods that are made with the aim of discrediting, misinforming, and generating uncertainty.”
Last Friday, when the RFEF announced this meeting, clubs such as Olot and Llagostera, the Girona representatives in the Second Division B, postponed the start of their respective pre-seasons. An exit shot that was to take place today.
