He Illustrious Bar Association of Barcelona (ICAB) is a pioneer at the national level in holding, in February 2021, the I Congress on the principle of transparency as a transversal value of society. The main conclusion obtained is that the implementation of said principle directly contributed to the improvement of the quality of our social and democratic State of Law.
In this line, the Famous Bar Associations of Madrid and Barcelonathrough its Legal Research and Innovation Institute ICAM R&D and ICAB R&D, and after the recent events that occurred in Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), They consider the resignation of Mr. Rubiales It is not only representative of the so-called “tip of the iceberg” of the opacity that exists in current football, but, above all, it should be representative of the turning point or starting point for the necessary real change of the structures of Spanish sport.
Advanced societies know very well that the best antidote or resistance against situations of abuse of power and inequality of rights lies in the decisive commitment to the implementation of the principle of transparency as a true value of social change. Only in this way can we move towards a culture of new values in the organization and management of sport in our country.
Based on this strong belief, the people fully reciprocated, the Institutes of Legal Research and Innovation R&D ICAB and R&D ICAM, based on their vocation for public service, together they will present in the coming months a proposal for the regulatory implementation of transparency in Sports. With this, we will try to contribute definitively to making this transcendental value a hallmark of our sports model, as well as its entire structure, management and representativeness.
The current situation, as we also know, cannot be reduced to the failure of a simple facelift or changing the cards in the positions of the federation: it is a structural phenomenon that must be addressed with determination and foresight.
To win the future – and the potential organization of World Championship in 2030– we have to start by being trustworthy in ourselves. We believe that there is no better reputation or expression of brand leadership than the responsibility and authenticity that transparency provides. Let’s do this in the axis of improvement at all levels of the federative and government structures of our sport and our society. Our athletes deserve it. And society must demand this from those who hold political responsibilities, for the sake of all.
