The value of women’s arbitration and the Competition Committee, pending issues

yesterday was friday CDS resolved by resolving the conflict that we have already advanced last Monday regarding women not community in professional women’s football for the next three years. A decision to assume 9 in this first season (with 7 on the field), 5 in the next and 3 in the third. But this is not the only problem that exists today and that is in the CSD offices.

Another, and also as we have in this newspaper, is the cost of arbitrations. Last season the clubs paid the RFEF a total of 3,000 euros for each arbitration. But the federal requirement, because it is a professional competition, exceeds 100% of what the 16 teams have paid so far. Yesterday the college asked for a professional contract. This, as is the case with the issue of non-community women, is a major problem that the CSD must solve.

To do this, and as established by the Royal Decree of Sports Federations which establishes the coordination agreement between the federations and the professional leagues, it must consist of three representatives in a professional league, as is already the case in the league of men. In the text, it says:

“An Arbitration Committee of the professional competition will be formed, made up of a representative of the Spanish Federation, a representative of the professional league and a part of the arbitration group that is not active, designated by mutual agreement between both entities .. In the absence of agreement with this consensus member, the CSD shall appoint. Situation in which we find ourselves today. Something key because among the functions is “establish the rules that have an economic effect on the arbitration of professional competition”, and an agreement must be reached on the cost of the arbitration activity. Even without it before the start of the season, the presence of referees in matches is not in danger. CSD called the parties to try to reach an agreement this week and before the start of the league.

But there is another big issue that also has to do with the coordination agreement regarding the functioning of the disciplinary bodies. As established by the same Royal Decree “The sports disciplinary power of that competition in accordance with such Federations shall be exercised by a Competition Committee constituted, either by a competition judge appointed by common agreement between the professional league and the Federation, or by three persons, two of whom shall be designated by the professional league and the Federation respectively, and the third, by common agreement between both entities.. And here too, if there is no agreement on the consensus person, the CSD appoints him. Big cost issues that now require the intervention of the CSD so that the new Women’s Professional League can start with some normalcy within a week.
