🚨 Competition rules on date for Real Madrid v Osasuna | OneFootball

Real Madrid will not be able to postpone their first LaLiga match as they wished in order to have more rest after the Club World Cup.

The single Competition judge has rejected the Madrid team's request to postpone their match against Osasuna.

Thus, the match between Real Madrid and the Navarrese team will be played on the date and time already set, Tuesday, August 19 at 21:00 at the Santiago Bernabéu.

🔎 What the Competition says

The key points of the committee's decision are outlined in the following three paragraphs of the resolution:

"It cannot in any way be argued that the holding of the FIFA Club World Cup was an unforeseeable event, as the event itself, as well as the dates, are both public and well-known facts known well in advance by all participating clubs."

"The existence of a squad of 23 players implies that the club, regardless of the need to manage efforts and properly administer their players and their rest to avoid injuries, has enough players to comply with the competition schedule."

"Real Madrid C.F. played the semi-final of the Club World Cup on July 9, and the players returned to Spain the following day, having started their rest period the day after, that is, July 11, so it is clear that the 21 consecutive days established by article 10.1 of the Collective Agreement for professional football activity are met and respected in this case."
