Some points for defining inside the RFEF

In principle, Rocha would not present to these new comicios, that will celebrate in any case after the celebration of the Olympic games of this summer in Paris, and have to the next 10 September like date more likely. It is necessary to remember equally that the now yes president of the RFEF did charge of interim form of it it RFEF after the FIFA suspended of temporary form to the previous president, Luis Rubiales.

The FIFA and the UEFA will follow the situation very closely

It is worthwhile to limit also that to all this announcement will follow him a letter of the FIFA and of the UEFA to the secretary of State for the Sport, José Manuel Rodríguez Uribes, so that it do not interfere in the process and respect the autonomy of the Federation. The misiva, that already is prepared and signed by the presidents of both organisms, Infantino and Ceferin, as it has explained 'ACE', warns of the consequences that would have for the Spanish football a governmental intervention.

The CSD has announced for the Tuesday a new meeting of his Managerial Commission in which no descarta a suspension of Pedro Rocha after the open file by the Court of the Sport (TAD), but seems that there will be margin for this. The UEFA and the FIFA do not want political interferences on the federations, as it has been along the history and understand that an external commission for "tutelar" the operation of the Federation would be precisely this.
