(ANSA) – MILAN, 30 JAN – The 20 Serie A clubs have sent a letter to the president of Coni Giovanni Malagò and to the Undersecretary for Sport Valentina Vezzali against the reform wanted by the FIGC president Gabriele Gravina on the statute and governance of the Serie A League ANSA learns this. The clubs, in the letter sent yesterday evening, believe that the FIGC’s claim “is not in accordance with the law” and that the League, as a private association, cannot receive limitations on its autonomy “except in the presence of reasons of interest public”. In the letter, signed by the 20 Serie A clubs, the clubs explain that on 25 November the FIGC “adopted some guiding principles containing also organizational rules with which it expects that the undersigned League comply with its statute”. A claim, therefore, “not in accordance with the law”, both for “the lack of the indispensable primary rule that attributes such regulatory power to a Federation” and for the “very nature of the League which is an association governed by private law, does not recognized and therefore has the full right to self-determination. This autonomy cannot be limited except in the presence of reasons of public interest “.
According to the clubs, the FIGC cannot therefore “interfere in the choices that pertain to the life of the association, such as by imposing certain constitutive and deliberative quorums, especially with reference to the distribution of the economic proceeds of the association and its associates. (..) they must be able to be freely carried out by the associates at their discretion, without impositions or conditioning from above. We hope that the issue can be addressed in a very short time in the correct manner by the interested parties “, conclude the 20 Serie A companies in the letter .
