Presidents Florentino Perez of Real Madrid and Joan Laporta of Barcelona have reportedly resigned from their positions on the Spanish Football Federation’s (RFEF) board of directors.
The decision, communicated to RFEF President Pedro Rocha in late October, is driven by their intention not to interfere in the upcoming RFEF electoral process scheduled for early 2024.
The resignations signify a deliberate step back from involvement in the RFEF presidential campaign, aiming to maintain a neutral stance and ensure a fair electoral process.
The Higher Sports Council (CSD) President, Victor Francos, granted authorization on October 11 for RFEF general elections in the first quarter of 2024, aligning with the federative body’s request.
Real Madrid and Barcelona are set to resume their La Liga campaigns against Cadiz and Rayo Vallecano, respectively, after the international break.
