This Monday we will meet with the tenant of the presidency of RFEF for the next four years. At 12:00 they were summoned to Soccer City of Las Rozas the 141 Members of the Assembly to elect the person representing the federative body and ending the period of inactivity that has existed since the kiss of Luis Rubiales in Jenni Hermoso and then as a result of the disqualification of Pedro Rocha. In order for the Assembly to be held normally, half and one of all convened are required.
There are two candidates for the presidency. On the one hand Rafael Louzanis still president of the Galician Federation and can run despite a seven-year disqualification pending a resolution from the Supreme Court. Louzan He must resign from the Galician presidency as soon as he is elected. Associated with his figure is the president of Extremadura, Sergio Merchanthat it is normal for him to resign his candidacy before the election begins.
The other candidate is Salvador Gomar, who has resigned from his presidency of the Valencian Federation.
At first Rafael Louzan He will start as a favorite because he has the support of more territorial federations. Among them are Catalan, Cantabrian, Ceuta and Melilla, Murcia, Extremadura, Riojan, Galician, Canarian, Asturian or Aragonese. In the case of Salvador Gomar It certainly has the support of Castilla la Mancha, Andalusia, the Balearic Islands and, logically, Valencia. It remains to be seen what the position federations like in Madrid or in Madrid will do. Castile Leon. Initially, the Basque Federation remained outside the electoral process.
According to the sectors, it seems that the 12 men’s professional club will give the majority of the vote to Rafael Louzanespecially after the support of Javier Tebas. This does not mean that there are some who do not. And then there are eight women’s clubs.
Undoubtedly, the key to the whole process lies in the 30 non-professional clubs and the 32 footballers (13 professionals and 19 non-professionals).
The eleven arbitrators present in the Assembly shall abstain from voting so as not to identify themselves with anyone. The same is happening with the 16 coaches. Another sector that could be key is futsal, which has 12 assembly members. Finally, the beach soccer vote remains.
This is the voting procedure
And then there is the voting procedure where in the first round the candidates have to win by an absolute majority. This represents 71 of the 141 total votes or half with one of the members present. If this does not happen, “a new vote by simple majority between the two who obtained the largest number of votes” has to be held.
In the event of a tie, and according to the same Regulations, the event has to be suspended for an hour “and a final vote will be held between both candidates, which will also be resolved by a simple majority.”
If the tie persists, the electoral board will hold a draw among the candidates to decide who will be elected to the presidency.
