Spain it was last night Olympic selection for the first time. It is the seventh team along with France, United States, Brazil, Colombia, Canada and New Zealand. An Olympic and Women’s Games where, according to FIFA regulations, the coaching staff that Montse Tomé will bring to Paris can only be composed of a maximum of seven members.
The first thing the RFEF has to do is send FIFA a preliminary list with a minimum of 35 players: four of them will be goalkeepers and of which the final list will consist of 18 players. In this tournament, unlike the men’s tournament where only three players older than January 1, 2001 can participate, there is no limit in women’s soccer.
In this official list, the organization of the Games allows each participating federation, if it deems it necessary, to include a maximum of four reserve players and one of them must be a goalkeeper. But none of these four temporary additions will be officially registered in the final stage and, therefore, will not be able to play.
Therefore, these four will not be among the 18 officially registered on the list of footballers and members of the coaching staff of the participating federation; They will not be able to participate in the finals unless one or more players suffer an injury or in the event of force majeure when the finals begin. Any request to change the status of a reserve player in order to register him on the official 18-player list must be made with the approval and confirmation of the relevant FIFA committees.
Substitution of footballers during the Games
Players, as specified in the same regulations to which the MD had access, may be substituted due to injury, illness or force majeure, at any time in the final period starting 24 hours before the team’s first match.
During this period, the proposed replacement must be one of the officially recognized reserve players and, in the event that a teammate is replaced due to injury or illness during this period, they will retain their original shirt number, which is from 19 to 19. 22 and They must not use the shirt number of the player they are replacing.
Deadline to transfer players to the national team
Teams participating in the final stage, including Spain, must arrive at the venue of their first match in the group stage at least four days before their debut. In addition, all clubs must be with their respective teams, starting with the current world champion, on July 15. Just one day before, the 14th of this month, the date set by FIFA for the end of everything of the national league. In the case of Spain there is no problem because the national competition ends on June 16.
