The risk of a European ban increases for La Liga clubs as FIFA and UEFA issue an ultimatum

In recent months, FIFA and UEFA have been monitoring the situation in the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF). During the summer, the previous president Pedro Rocha was suspended, and the Spanish Government monitored the events in the hope of finding a solution.

Rocha's suspension was handed down in July, but three months later, no successor has been appointed. FIFA and UEFA are not happy about this, and Garcia Silvero, the former's legal director, confirmed that “action will be taken” if a new president is not appointed by the end of 2024, as and for AS Diary.

According to the report, there is a serious risk that Spanish clubs will be banned from European competitions if sufficient actions are not taken in the Federation by the end of the year. In addition, there is also the risk that Spain will be stripped of its hosting rights for the 2030 World Cup.

These threats should give haste to those who oversee the Federation, as it would be disastrous if there were sports punishments meted out to the Federation. Spanish national team and The League clubs.
