RFEF deduct points from three clubs over non-compliance of regulations

The Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) has harshly sanctioned three Spanish Primera Iberdrola teams; Levante, Villarreal, and Real Sociedad while Rayo Vallecano, Real Betis and Valencia were warned.

The Single Judge of the RFEF has sanctioned these three teams with a fine and a reduction of three points for “non-compliance, conscious and repeated, of orders, instructions, agreements, and regulatory obligations -uniformity- (Art.88). It also fines three other teams: Rayo, Betis, and Valencia.

The exact reason is that these teams do not wear the RFEF competition logo on their sleeve. A breach that has been warned and fined in previous resolutions.

Failure to wear the patch on the first kits is an offence. Away from home, Rayo Vallecano, Real Betis and Valencia all failed to comply by not having the logo printed. By not being withdrawn, they were only penalized with a fine.

With these fines, Villarreal is more bottom in the table. In the absence of a possible appeal, the yellow team is last and Rayo takes three points in the standings.
