The Osasuna is
Osasuna is still studying if his legal battle continues for alleged improper alignment of Iñigo Martínez in the League party that he lost to FC Barcelona on March 27. It will be in the next few days when the Navarro Club decides whether to go to the last Spanish sports instance, the Administrative Court of Sports (TAD). The Redjilla entity has 15 business days as a term since on May 8 the Appeal Committee of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) dismissed the appeal presented by Osasuna, ratifying the decision previously adopted by the RFEF Discipline Committee. The deadline ends on May 29. Three points that right now would be crucial for the Navarro Club in their struggle to be able to play in Europe and that, once the title by Barça was conquered, they would leave that alirón in the air in the event that the TAD validated the Osasunist arguments that may be the case, it could cause a turnover in the Barca title in case the FC Barcelona does not maintain, at the end of the last day of the league, the four points that the four points Madrid.
Falla that the last day of the 2024-25 League is played, Osasuna is matched with points with the Vallecano ray in Conference League posts and has one point less than Celta, the last team in Posts of Europa League.
The resource is complicated for the TAD, taking into account the precedents. Last April 11, the first letter signed by the president of the Discipline Committee, María Josefa García, was very forceful in favor of FC Barcelona and the distrust of Iñigo Martínez with the national team. Especially for the information provided by the RFEF, according to which it was made clear that they admitted “as valid the medical reports of Barça so much regarding Íñigo Martínez and Marc Casadó, prior to the start of the concentration of the selection.”
To this is added the mail directed by the National Team Manager to FC Barcelona, in which the following was collected: “I send you this email to inform that, due to injury, the player of FC Barcelona Iñigo Martínez is distressed for the dispute of the quarter-final matches of the UNL 2024-2025 of these days.” The discipline's own writing concluded that the RFEF, by allowing Iñigo Martínez to abandon the concentration with the consequent official certificate of distrust, “is implicitly manifesting its will not to apply said prohibitive norm (of the five days to which the Osasuna appeals), with it, understanding that they could play with their club.”
The resolution of the Appeal Committee ratified the correct action of the First Court. In the subsequent resource sent to appeal by the Navarrese team, the appeal on five points was based: deficiencies in the processing of the player's decline, absence of medical tests of the RFEF; Legal inefficiency of disconvocation and discrimination in federative treatment in relation to other players in the identical situation such as Bryan Zaragoza and Nico Williams. The last one is an alleged violation of the regulations on medical casualties in the Spanish system. Finally, Osasuna argued that the alleged medical decline lacked legal effects since it had not been issued by mutual or public health service, as provided in Royal Decree 1060/2022.
The Appeal Committee considered that “corresponds exclusively to the convening Federation, in this case the RFEF, decide whether it considers an injury that justifies the decline of a player, and if it considers necessary or not require more documentation or additional clinical tests. Technical discretion in this matter cannot be replaced or prosecuted by this committee in disciplinary headquarters, except that it is revealed as it is revealed as it is revealed arbitrary or fraudulent. “
Regarding the obligation of the medical test by the RFEF, the disciplinary body argued that “it should be noted that there is no rule that imposes the need for radiological evidence or obligation to review at the federative headquarters, if the Federation accepts the medical part of the club as sufficient … that is, the obligation to submit to said medical examination only has an imperative character for the player if the federation expressly requires it. RFEF did not request such recognition and, on the contrary, he accepted as valid the medical reports sent by FC Barcelona, it is inadmissible to maintain that article 4 has been violated, there is no violation of an obligation that was never required by the convening federation. “

In addition, and as the first instance already argued, the distributory was officially accredited: “In this sense, it is forced to refer to the act of distressing of the player constituted by: – An official email of the Team Manager of the absolute selection on March 17, 2025. – A statement from the RFEF published the same day on its official website. Antecede, accredited the act of official distrust of the player D. Íñigo Martínez through the email dated March 17, 2025 sent by the Team Manager of the absolute selection and the official statement on the website of the RFEF “
Appeal concluded that “it cannot be validly sustained that the player's participation in the meeting on March 27 constitutes undue alignment, since, legally, the player was not subject to the temporary restriction established by the rule, having ceased the effects of his call through express federative act.”
