sometimes Luis Rubiales submitted his resignation, RFEF Rules they are clear. In its article 31 related to the president, it states that “if the President resigns for reasons other than the end of his mandate, the Board of Directors shall be constituted Management Committee and will call an election to fill the position; “Whoever is elected will occupy the position for a period equal to the remaining time to be fulfilled by the person to be replaced, and the rule set for article 23.2 of this ordinance will also be applied in this regard.”
[+] Rubiales announced his resignation on Piers Morgan’s channel:
This means that the Management Commission must call an election. And these elections should be immediate and not wait until 2024 where the RFEF does not have to call them up until the second half of 2024. That is when, as stated in Decree of the Highness increase which controls the electoral processes in sports federations, a new call must be made unless the RFEF agrees with the CSD to advance the elections to the first half of the year as happened in 2018 and in 2020 with Rubiales as president.
If they are to be called immediately, this first Luis Rubiales could not face. But it can be done in the case of those that should be held in the second half of 2024 because Spain will participate in the men’s soccer tournament in Paris: The electoral law says the following about the call: “Without prejudice to the provisions In the following sections , the electoral processes for the election of the aforementioned bodies will be conducted in conjunction with the year of celebration of Summer Olympics, must begin within the first quarter of said year. However, the Spanish Sports Federations that will participate in the Summer Olympic Games will begin their electoral processes within two months after the end of the Games.”
Or even in the first semester. But for him to do this, he does not need to be suspended or punished FIFA or himself TAD for a period of disqualification that includes this period of 2024. Something that seems difficult given the current situation
The truth is, in this hypothetical case, the Statutes will allow it. In its article 23 it is said that “If, in any case, they cannot complete the period of the mandate, the occupants of the vacancies shall hold office for a period equal to the time left to be fulfilled by the replacements, which They cannot stand for new elections until the Olympic season has passed in which they were selected.”
