But now, in the heat of the Negreira case, when Javier Tebas decided to put it on the clubs table to begin with. a war to save referees Royal Spanish Football Federation. This will be done, as EL PERIÓDICO DE ESPAÑA from the Prensa Ibérica group learned at LaLiga’s Extraordinary Convention for April 15.
Thebes feels that separating the referees from the RFEF will contribute to blessing their independence. The LaLiga president and his collaborators have always understood how. a system failure Technical Referee Committee depends only on RFEF The Competition Board, which is the institution that controls the accuracy of its decisions and decisions in the first place, also does this.

The difference is that that organization was created with the acceptance and active participation of the British Federation. Something that will not happen under any circumstances in Spain, at least as Luis Rubiales remains president of the RFEF. They have always argued from Las Rozas that the current arbitration model is positive. and, of course, they won’t leave a match that Spanish and football laws consider sacred to Thebes.
