Calendar of FC Barcelona

The Seville-FC Barcelona of the fourth day of League will have to play the weekend of the 11 and the 12 September. Like this it has decided it the Committee of Competition, that has desestimado the demand of LaLiga to postpone the party between sevillistas and culés, in addition to the Villarreal-Alavés. The request is due to that the players sudamericanos will not be able to incorporate until the Friday 10 in the afternoon.

However, in spite of the wishes of LaLiga and of his president, Javier Thebes, Competition has left clear that the parties of selections are not a sufficient cause as to postpone these meetings. This has to to the point three of the Article 239 of the regulation of the Real Spanish Federation of Football, that demands that it does not allow that they suspend crashes by this type of reason.

"In no case they will be able to invoke the clubs like greater strength to request such suspension and such postponement of a meeting the circumstance of not being able to range to determinate footballers for being subjects to federative suspension, for suffering illness or injury, or for having been called to take part in his national selections", prays the article, that also confirms in which moment yes would have to postpone a party.

"Yes it will consider , instead, like greater strength, the fact that by unpredictable circumstances cause low, simultaneously, a number of footballers that reduce the staff to less than eleven", concludes the point three of the article 239. Unfortunately for Barcelona, Seville, Alavés and Villarreal, this is not what occurs in this case and therefore, if it does not change at all, the two duels will have to contest.

LaLiga, annoying with the resolution

LaLiga Has answered to this resolution and has showed disconforme. "Manifestadmos Ours absolute disconformidad in front of the Resolution of the President of the Committee of Competition, dictated by delegation of the President of the RFEF, of desestimar the applications of postponement presented so much by the Villarreal CF with regard to the party Villarreal CF – Sportive Alavés fixed for the Saturday 11 September to the 18:30 h, like the Seville FC for the meeting Seville FC - FC Barcelona, fixed for the Saturday 11 September to the 21 hours, and by LaLiga, organiser of this competition", began the writing.

The League of Professional Football ensured that the Committee "is contradicting the approach made by the own FIFA for oponerse to the measure cautelar requested by LaLiga in front of the TAS, indicating that it was easier for LaLiga postpone these parties that for FIFA postpone the ones of the eliminatory CONMEBOL". It will be necessary to see if these complaints have some type of repercussion, but for now only are 'wet paper' and the two meetings will have to play except that it change something.
