Now that much is being said about the future of FC Barcelona in future editions of Champions Leagueas he found out World of sportsThe UEFA It has just told all national associations, including the RFEF, that the pre-registration period for clubs for next season’s European competitions will begin. How it is stated in the letter sent by UEFA: “By this letter, clubs are invited to participate in the 2023/24 season of the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, UEFA Europa Conference League and UEFA Youth League”.
To assess the eligibility of each participating club, UEFA applies this pre-registration procedure, followed by the final one. This means that, within the specified pre-registration period, each national association, including the Spanish Football Federation, must send to UEFA the entry criteria forms of all clubs that have qualified or still potentially qualify for in competitions. of UEFA clubs on that date.
The documentation consists of the official registration form and the entry criteria form.
This pre-registration period ends on May 19, 2023. The Spanish Football Federation must send UEFA the following documentation:
– An official entry criteria form (UEFA club competitions 2023/24) completed in full for each club that has qualified or is still likely to qualify for the UEFA Champions League, the
UEFA Europa League, UEFA Europa Conference League and UEFA Youth League.
One form for each club, whether it participates in the UEFA Youth League
or in the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League or UEFA Europa and UEFA Youth League.
June 12, deadline for qualified clubs
And then there is a second key date in this enrollment process. And this is when the clubs have achieved their classification for European competitions. Starting with FC Barcelona.
As UEFA clarified, before the date of June 12, in this case, the RFEF and the clubs must submit the following documentation:
– The official registration form for the competition, with a list of all clubs qualified for UEFA
UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, UEFA Europa Conference League and UEFA
Youth League (see below).
– Every team that has qualified for the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, UEFA
Europa Conference League and UEFA Youth League you will need to register your kit.
It is then and whenever the current information leads to a sanctioning file. As we have been telling you since March 11 in MD, it is only until then that UEFA can act. And as long as the information opened by UEFA leads to a disciplinary file, always based on article 4.2 of the Champions League Regulations, which reads as follows: “Yes, based on all the factual circumstances and information from the available , UEFA concludes to its satisfaction that a club has been directly and/or indirectly involved, since the implementation of paragraph 3 of article 50 of the UEFA Statutes, that is, on April 27, 2007, in any activity aimed at fix or influence the outcome of a match at national or international level, such club will be declared ineligible by UEFA to participate in the competition. Such ineligibility shall be effective for one football season only. In making its decision, UEFA may, but is not obliged to, base its decision on a decision of a national or international sports body, an arbitration court or a state court. UEFA may refrain from declaring a club ineligible to participate in the competition if it is satisfied that the effect of a decision made in relation to the same factual circumstances by a national or international sports body, arbitral tribunal or court of the state has already had the effect of preventing that club from participating in a UEFA club competition.”
It is in acceptance of the same when UEFA itself must decide what measures it adopts, but always based on a hypothetical file as a result of the investigation open to the Barça team.
It will go directly to the Appeals Committee
Always in the event that this file ends in the exclusion of the Barça club from European competition for the following season, should it happen, directly to the UEFA Appeals Committee. And this organism will decide it. An argument that UEFA should fully argue for the reasons for sanctioning the Barça club. Any punishment.
Because Barcelona will always have the option to go to TAS, as the last legal sports example. Although it is true that TAS has collected and accepted that there may be sanctions when the cleanliness or image of a competition is not guaranteed; there are also precedents where CAS has overturned UEFA decisions on big clubs.
