🚨Oviedo respond after single judge’s decision | OneFootball

The institutional conflict between Real Oviedo and LaLiga has taken a definitive turn. Following the controversial suspension of the match against Rayo Vallecano, the Single Competition Judge of the RFEF has issued a resolution that supports the Asturian club's stance point by point, declaring the "competitive inefficacy" of the decision made by the organization led by Javier Tebas.

Lack of Authority and Nullity

The resolution is clear-cut: LaLiga lacks the legal authority to unilaterally suspend matches. According to the ruling, suspending a match is a "technical-sporting act of authority" and not merely an organizational function. The Judge emphasizes that LaLiga does not have the power to decree suspensions before the referee team inspects the field, thus invalidating the decision made on February 7th due to a "lack of regulatory authorization."

No Force Majeure and with Alternative Field

Another key point is the rejection of "force majeure." The RFEF determines that the poor condition of the pitch in Vallecas was not an unavoidable event but the result of unfinished scheduled works. Furthermore, it criticizes the failure to consider the use of an alternative stadium. Following this legal success, Real Oviedo has already announced that it will continue to fight for the forfeiture of the match by Rayo Vallecano, defending the integrity of the competition and the rights of its fans.
