Why Arosa SC will play the second round of the Copa del Rey if they lost 0-3 to Granada
Arosa SC already played the current edition of the Copa del Rey at the A Lomba Stadium and lost 0-3 to Granada on November 2. However, he moved on to the next instance. Because?
On 7 November, Granada were eliminated from the Copa del Rey, even though they had won their match against Arosa SC on the pitch a few days earlier. The reason? Nasrid’s team made an incorrect line-up by including goalkeeper Adri López among the starters.
Adri López, over 23 years old and a player for Recreativo Granada, could not participate in the cup, according to the RFEF, because it was a non-professional tournament. Arosa denounced and Granada was eliminated due to incorrect line-up.
The use of Adri López is against the regulations of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), because he is a goalkeeper over 23 years old (he is already 24) and is registered in the ‘B’ team, Recreativo Granada , and which has a non-professional competition such as the Copa del Rey.
The tournament’s competition rules make it clear that the Copa del Rey is not considered a professional championship. “The Spanish Championship/HM the King’s Cup, the Spanish Super Cup and the Federation Cup are official competitions of state level and non-professional in character at amateur level, where the sporting ownership corresponds exclusively to the Royal Spanish Football Federation.”
Their line-up in LaLiga would be correct, but not in the KO tournament. The strange thing is that Granada had already taken a risk with the same situation a year ago, when Adri López, who was also goalkeeper in the Copa del Rey, played in both matches of the last edition while he was also more than 23 years old. although in that case there was no sanction because no one reported it.
A useless route
On a sporting level, Granada defeated Arosa 0-3 with goals from José Callejón, Shon Weissman and Famara Diédhiou. It didn’t help him advance to the round.
