La Liga clubs facing European ban as UEFA, FIFA demand explanation for Spanish Football Federation situation

In the last couple of weeks, the Spanish Government has intervened in matters at the Spanish Football Federation. A massive mess is ongoing, largely due to the ongoing corruption allegations levelled at the Federation and some of its current and former members.

As per Marca, it was announced on Tuesday that the Government has started a Supervision, Standardisation and Representation Commission, which will oversee the Federation. Spanish football icon Vicente del Bosque has been tasked with chairing this, after receiving approval from president Pedro Rocha.

However, this news has not gone down well at UEFA and FIFA, who are demanding an explanation for the Government’s involvement in the Federation, as per Diario AS. A response must be issued by Friday, and if it is unsatisfactory, an immediate ban from European and global competitions could follow for La Liga clubs, and the Spanish national teams.

As things stand, the likes of Real Madrid, Barcelona, Girona and Athletic Club are projected to be in Europe for next season, but if UEFA and FIFA bring sanctions to the Federation, they may not be able to take their respective places.
