MADRID, 3 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Granada CF defended this Friday that the line-up of goalkeeper Adrián López, with a reserve team record and 24 years old, in the match that faced Arosa SC in the first round of the 2023-2024 Copa del Rey is “correct”, after to clarify that the KO tournament is “a professional competition” and “a goalkeeper from the dependent team”, not a direct affiliate, “under 25 years of age” can play, in accordance with the new Sports Law, according to a statement.
“Granada CF wants to clarify that the King’s Cup is a professional competition in accordance with the provisions of articles 83 and 84 of the new Sports Law 39/2022, of December 30, which came into force on December 1 January 2023,” said the note from the Nasrid group.
And the entity believes that the lineup of Adri López, 24, is “correct”, because in a professional competition “a goalkeeper from the dependent team under 25 years of age can play.” “Granada will oppose the Claim of Improper Alignment filed by Arosa Sociedad Cultural, and will defend its rights before all instances,” concluded the brief statement from the Andalusian team.
Granada’s position and argument comes after the president of Arosa SC, Manuel Abalo, assured this Thursday that his club will denounce a possible improper alignment of goalkeeper Adri López, during the match that faced both teams in the first round of the Cup. del Rey and which ended with a 0-3 Granada victory.
In an interview for ‘El Larguero’ on SER, Abalo confirmed his intentions. “Right now we practically have the appeal to send,” he said after learning that Adri López had played with the reserve team despite being 24 years old, when the regulations detail that footballers under 23 years of age must play in a non-professional competition, such as It would be the Copa del Rey.
Within the Nasrid club, according to information from SER, they could base their defense argument on the fact that Recreativo Granada is a dependent team and not a direct affiliate of Granada CF. This would eliminate the age limit rule and, therefore, Adri López’s lineup would be correct.
