This Federation It called upon 40 clubs that are part of the Primera RFEF to approve the competition model formulated by the presiding body within the next 48 hours. Luis Rubiales. In a letter to the teams, they attribute the continuity of the category to the approval of an economic audit that would ensure the sustainability of a category that has virtually no revenue and the majority of clubs are losing millions of dollars. If the federation proposal is not successful, the RFEF warns that it will make “decisions on the structuring of non-professional state level official competitions that are considered most beneficial to Spanish football as a whole”.according to the document transferred to the clubs.

The main point of the RFEF proposal is the application of economic control in the category that many groups claim to alleviate the financial problems affecting a significant portion. “The RFEF confirms that a significant number of clubs have repeatedly stated that this category is economically unsustainable. This prompts necessary and inevitable reflection on what it would mean to maintain a category that clubs participating in it have stated is unsustainable.” “However, we also need to consider the origins of this economic unsustainability and the reasons why some clubs continue to spend much more than they earned two years later.”

However, the Federation’s plan also includes control of the category, loss of autonomy of clubs and limitation of ability to form associations.. Therefore, many expressed their opposition to the proposal and demanded that the RFEF elaborate their proposal in more detail before voting on a competition model that would imply giving up some of its mandate.

The federation understands that “it is essential to approve a special regulation on the economic control of participating clubs”.“and will require mechanisms to ensure players are paid salaries and debt limits alongside the audited accounts of clubs from the previous two seasons.
