Appeal confirms Barça's cup elimination due to Ferreira's sanction

BARCELONA, 2 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Appeals Committee of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) confirmed the resolution of the Competition Committee and maintains the elimination of FC Barcelona from the Copa de la Reina due to improper alignment of its player Geyse Ferreira, who carried a sanction from the previous season with Madrid CFF.

Appeal dismantled the arguments presented by FC Barcelona in its appeal, where it requested the annulment of the resolution of the Competition judge for "formal defects", argued that there was no improper alignment and requested the precautionary suspension of the draw for the quarterfinals of the Copa de the Queen, after beating Osasuna 0-9 in the duel in which Geyse Ferreira played.

"It is clear in the opinion of this Appeals Committee that there are no formal irregularities in the file nor, even if they did exist, the act would lack the essential formal requirements to achieve its purpose or render it defenseless," Appeal argued.

According to the Appeals Committee and previously the Competition Committee, Geyse Ferreira's sanction was correctly published in various formats and media (Competition resolution, Fénix program or RFEF computer certificate, for example) and Barça Femení should have known that it was not could use the player in her first Queen's Cup match this season.

For all these reasons, the Appeals Committee "entirely" dismisses the appeal made by FC Barcelona against the resolution of the Competition Judge of January 24, 2023. Against this resolution it is possible to file an appeal before the Administrative Court of Sport within the maximum period fifteen business days.

Barça, current champion of the Cup, won in El Sadar clearly by 0-9, but their rival claimed victory before the RFEF Competition Committee since the attacker could not play due to being sanctioned for a year expulsion past in the competition when he was a member of the Madrid CFF.
