MADRID, 8 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The F League has denounced that the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) has “broken” the agreement they had reached on the payment of arbitration fees, sending it a receipt with “amounts higher than those agreed”, and has urged the Higher Sports Council (CSD), which he claims to have informed two weeks ago, to take measures to comply with what was agreed.
“The Secretary General of the RFEF, in a new demonstration of lack of seriousness in breaching the agreement with the Government of Spain and with the F League, has sent a communication to the clubs urging them to pay an arbitration receipt of 14,647 euros per game, instead of what was agreed, 4,048 euros, threatening to apply disciplinary sanctions in case of not undertaking said payments,” Liga F said in a statement.
The employers assured that, after the arbitration strike on the first day of the competition, the RFEF, the F League and the CSD reached an agreement for the next six seasons and that, “from the first moment”, the parties involved “accepted in a clear way that the clubs would only pay what corresponds to arbitration fees, the rest of the concepts being assumed by the F League and the CSD”.
“The RFEF intends that the clubs pay all the costs derived from the arbitration services from their budgets, when, as agreed, they would only be responsible for the arbitration fees (4,048 euros per match), corresponding to the League F the rest of the games (diets, travel and training), “he explained.
In this sense, he indicated that the receipt sent by the RFEF includes “new concepts and amounts that were not agreed, thus pretending to receive global amounts greater than those agreed upon.” “In fact, the RFEF intends to allocate to the clubs the amounts that the RFEF undertook to contribute from its funds to the end-of-career fund, a commitment that of course was accompanied by its usual media staging of support for women”, express.
After receiving the new receipt, Liga F was able to contact the CSD, which “promised to contact the RFEF to solve this new nonsense.” “However, having already spent more than two weeks without news from the CSD, and given the increase in hostilities on the part of the RFEF, setting a deadline for the clubs to pay amounts that in no way correspond to those agreed, this League Professional has been forced to present the corresponding appeal to the CSD to force the RFEF to comply with the agreements reached in which, it must be said, the CSD was not a mere spectator, but was an active part and whose intervention was decisive to unblock the conflict,” he said.
“Failure to speak and breach agreements of which the Government of Spain itself has been a part is truly inconceivable and makes clear the management model that is carried out from an institution as important as the RFEF. For this reason, from this Professional League We do not expect anything other than that the Government of Spain enforces the agreements reached to which it was a part,” he concluded.
