In its argument, the Confederation highlights that the Government has used this extraordinary resource inappropriately.
“This conduct and procedure of the Executive Branch violates art. 20 of Law 20,655, which recognizes the autonomy of the Civil Sports Associations that are members of the Institutional System of Sports and Physical Activity in the free exercise of their functions. It is noteworthy that this text in the sports regulations is demanded by supra-national organizations (associations, federations and international sports confederations), including the International Olympic Committee, the International Paralympic Committee and especially by the International Federation of Associated Football (FIFA). , “in whose statutes they stipulate severe penalties in the case of interference by governments in matters related to the institutional life of the entities that comprise it.”warns the CAD.
The CAD warns about the risk of marginalization of Argentine soccer clubs from international competitions and the suspension of the participation of the Argentine National Team in the Copa América and the Olympic Games.
The Argentine Football Association (AFA) prohibited the transformation into SAD, but there is a risk that some association will resort to justice, generating a conflict between the decisions of the members and the imposition of the Executive Branch.
