The inauguration of Pedro Rocha as president of the Spanish Football Federation has brought with it tranquillityboth on the day in the Las Rozas Football City, and in the federative relationship with UEFA and FIFA. The ghost of the suspension of Spanish football was hovering over the offices of the highest organizations in the world of footballbut the period of reflection opened with the arrival of Rocha to the presidential chair has ensured that the Spanish Football Federation is not among the federations investigated and possibly sanctioned at the FIFA congress next Friday.
The same cannot be said of the relationship of the entity directed by Gianni Infantino and the Higher Sports Council. FIFA is still waiting for the response to that request made jointly from Zurich and Nyon, in which they asked what functions and how far it would go. the Supervision, Normalization and Representation Commission created by the CSDwith Vicente del Bosque as president, of which we know from the announcement of its creation, but of which at the moment there has been no news.
Infantino and Ceferin.
All the decisions taken by Pedro Rocha, such as the appointment of the new Secretary General, have been taken by the president without consulting the aforementioned commission. It is true that there has not been any strange movement and that everything has obeyed management criteria and looking at all times to the executives who were already working in the Federation, but all with total independence and focusing on what was truly necessary.
The clear sign that everything is returning to an apparent normality is that Pedro Rocha is going to meet with Gianni Infantino on the occasion of the FIFA congress in Bangkok. And here the person who represents Spanish football is the president of the Federation. Spanish football needs to recover the lost confidence abroad and the meeting will give shape to that normality. The 2030 World Cup is at stake and it is FIFA itself that has been the main endorser of a six-party project that has yet to finish taking shape.
Spain, in its place
Spain has not lost its place, but if the announced government intervention had occurred, the project would have begun to falter and the Spanish part of that World Cup would have begun to be reduced alarmingly or would even have disappeared.
The idea that drives the world of football right now is that the final of that World Cup takes place in Madrid and at the Santiago Bernabéu. He match ball It has been saved in time, but victory cannot yet be declared. The final decision will come in the month of July and first we have to overcome some difficulties and find a point of agreement, such as Real Madrid closing an agreement with FIFA, to the transfer of the Santiago Bernabéu for the celebration of the World Cup. Something that happens with other venues and other stadiums, which see the time that the venues have to be under FIFA control as excessive.
