The Eurocup box is becoming a reality in every Spanish match. a competition for the protocol between the Government and the Federation (RFEF). In the last match, against Albania, Vicente del Bosque was the representative of the Higher Sports Council (CSD). He greeted Pedro Rocha, president of the Federation, with a brief but revealing message: “Don’t worry, Pedro,” the former coach told him. But Rocha is not calm. He is threatened with disqualification by the Administrative Court of Sport (TAD). This Sunday, in Cologne, The Government representatives in the box for the Spain-Georgia game will be the super-minister spokesperson, Pilar Alegría, and the Secretary of State, José Manuel Rodríguez Uribes. UEFA sources have assured this newspaper that “the representative of the Federation, its president Pedro Rocha will have a special place in the box as has been happening in all the matches.”, but the Government raises the stakes and sends one of its most powerful representatives to the round of 16 match.
Rocha will continue to attend every Euro match as long as he can and the disqualification file opened by the TAD does not prosper.. He will do so because he has a deadline to appeal, a deadline that will expire next Friday, the same day that Spain and Germany could play the quarterfinal tie if both get past the round of 16 this weekend. RFEF sources say that Rocha “wants to stay in the stands because he has nothing to hide and wants to defend his honour until the end”. The leader considers that remaining firm in his institutional position at the head of the RFEF is the best way to ratify himself.
UEFA has not yet decided where it will seat Pilar Alegría and José Manuel Rodríguez Uribes, who in the match against Italy sat six seats away from the king. The minister could occupy a prominent ceremonial place, but in any case it will be Rocha who presides from the seat reserved for the president of the RFEF.As for Felipe VI, as head of state, he does have the most privileged position reserved for him in each party. But the RFEF does not expect the king to return for the Euro Cup in principle, if it is played, until the final on July 14. Although they do not rule out that it could do so next Friday, July 5, if Spain and Germany, the host country, meet in the quarterfinals. But first we will have to wait to see what the TAD does.
