Because of international matches: DFL also practices criticism of FIFA
The Welsh football league system (or pyramid) is a collection of football organizations with regular promo and relegation in between them. While many Welsh clubs play in the Welsh pyramid as well as a lot of clubs because pyramid are Welsh, five Welsh clubs play in England, as well as 4 English clubs play in Wales.
On Tuesday afternoon, the clubs of the Premier League restructuring, but unanimous, as it was said, no professionals for the World Cup qualifiers between 2 and 10 September in countries of the so-called Red List of the British Government.
Because in the return journey to the island from the 26 countries of the list, mainly in South America and Africa, a ten-day Hotelsquarine beevitable would inevitably be the result. Which with nearly 60 affected footballers from 19 first league clubs of course massive problems for the play calendar in England. The Spanish La Leaga also signaled the clubs who want to resist the deputy obligation. In Spain, at least 25 professionals from 13 clubs are affected.
Only recently, the FIFA had extended the South America dates tailored in the spring of the World Cup qualifier in South America for two days for catching parts of the local Conmebol national associations. At the same time, FIFA has decided unilaterally to extend the exemption for the release of players if they need to be quarantined when returning to their clubs, it said in a communication of the World League Forum on August 13th.
The advocacy of 40 professional leagues criticized the World Federation: These decisions of FIFA will have a negative impact on the national profile people, clubs, players and fans. The leagues and their clubs must meet strict contractual requirements, ensure health and safety and careful Planning the game dates. The approval of unilateral changes to an established international play calendar is disregarding these agreements.
Decisions must take into account the interests of clubs
The DFL has now reported as part of the WLF, although there is no concerted action in this country as in England or Spain. Because in Germany, the problem with World information does not even affect a handful of professionals.
The DFL is in close exchange with clubs affected with reference to internationals (primary conmebol), which for the purpose of clarifying possible quarantine obligations for returning players with the local authorities, shares a speaker on request. At the same time, the DFL has already been positioned together with additional leagues in a Communication from the World Leagues Forum on 13 August in relation to the Conmebol Depreciation period and a settlement obligation. Decisions decisions must have the interests of the clubs as an employer of the players and take account of the interests of the national leagues. An extension of the departure period by two days as well as a pleading obligation despite quarantine obligations do not do this.
The German club benefits in the topic compared to the British competitors in the topic that there is no virus variant areas after the definition of the Robert Koch Institute RKI. On August 15, the RKI had repealed this status for Brazil and Uruguay. Brazil, as currently 72 other countries (or subregions of countries), is considered a high-risk area. However, according to the entry ordinance of the federal government since 1 August, visitors from such areas with vaccine or recent proof do not have to be domesticated. In addition, a freestest is possible, but only after at least five days in isolation.
Not excluded that against this background, the vaccination rate in the league becomes a topic again.
Infantino reports to the Causa word
In the meantime, FIFA President Gianni Infantino became expressed to the overall phones specifically England concerning - and enforces in an official opinion: To the quarantine requirements that apply to players who return to England from risk countries, I have Prime Minister Boris Johnson in a letter For the necessary assistance asked for players to represent their countries in qualifying games for the FIFA World Cup, which is one of the highest honors for a professional player.
