Euskaraz irakurri: Osasuna Konferentzia Ligatik kanpo uztea gomendatu dute UEFAko ikerlariek

UEFA has informed the Osasuna board of directors that its inspectors have recommended the expulsion of the Navarrese club from the next edition of the Conference League as match-fixing penalty in 2013.

After receiving the report from the two members of the UEFA Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Committee responsible for reviewing the case, this body has communicated the opening of a disciplinary file against the Navarrese club.

Osasuna, which has argued before UEFA that the club itself filed a private prosecution against the managers accused of match-fixing, has announced that will appeal the decision to the Appeals Committee before a final pronouncement.

UEFA inspectors They consider that the ruling of the Supreme Court that condemns several former directors of the rojilla entity is sufficient reason to exclude Osasunanine years after the facts, of the European competitions.

Osasuna does not share the criteria of UEFA

The Navarrese club affirms that it does not share the criteria of UEFA, for which reason will appeal to the Appeals Committee and announces that he will fight legally, “until the last consequences, to defend his rights”understanding that he is being denied “the right to participate in European competitions that has been fairly earned on the field.”

“Strong with the weak and weak with the strong, the UEFA courts have not wanted to take into consideration that it was the Spanish courts themselves who have literally declared that Osasuna has been the victim of the diversion of money carried out by some of their former directors behind the back of the highest governing body of the entity, the Assembly, and the control mechanisms of the club itself”, Osasuna emphasizes.

With this decision, he adds, UEFA “intends to punish Osasuna again in the figure of its current managers, who are precisely the ones who filed a complaint in court, beginning the legal proceedings.”

“Perhaps we are facing the only known case in the recent history of European football in which a club prosecutes some of its former managers, who are currently pending prison terms,” ​​explains the rojillo club.

It is the new board of directors, a club that “today their accusers would not resist in an exemplary test” and a fans “who lived with anguish the near disappearance of their team, who are being punished today,” Osasuna indicated in his release.

In Osasuna’s opinion, the message transmitted by UEFA “is, without a doubt, counterproductive for football and for those entities that, faced with the risk of being penalized by the highest body in European football, now choose not to attack frontally corruption in the world of football “Osasuna understands that this cannot and should not be the objective pursued by UEFA,” he adds.

Osasuna denounces the silence of the Spanish Federation

After noting that “the damage to the entity’s image is very serious“, Osasuna regrets that This damage has also occurred “with the silence of the main Spanish football organizations, including the RFEF“. It also denounces “continuous self-interested leaks, in a national key, to certain media outlets and journalists to build a story that sacrifices the weak to favor the strong.”

“We are prepared for the worstbut not to leave aside the motto that has accompanied us in the reconstruction of the club during the last nine years: Osasuna never gives up“, assures the Navarrese club, which announces that He will defend his rights and those of his fans.. “With the same zeal with which they cheer us on every weekend, with the same effort with which our players and coaching staff have deservedly earned their place in the next edition of the Conference League,” he underlined.

In this sense, he concludes his statement stating: “We believe so much in what we do, and in how we do it, that we cannot allow Club Atlético Osasuna to be usedwith the acquiescence of those who in 2014 looked the other way, to solve the problems of others”.
