There was no last minute miracle because Extremadura UD did not appear last Saturday before the Racing de Ferrol, so the game could not start. As he had warned, the azulgrana squad carried out the strike called due to the accumulated defaults and the Almendralejo team added their second non-appearance throughout the season. An absence that will provoke his next exclusion from the league, a sad ending that does not surprise the fans of an entity that has serious problems and has been in bankruptcy proceedings for months, so the Almendralejo club seems doomed to dissolution. An agonizing disappearance for a group founded 14 years ago and a setback also for the First RFEF, one of the great projects of the Federation for football of lower categories. The competition in which he has put so much enthusiasm and effort Luis Rubiales it remains lame the same year of its premiere.

The equality in the classification is being maximum in the two groups in which the P is divided1st RFEF Division, third tier of Spanish football (replacing Second Division B) which has begun to be played this season and a prelude to professional football. The enormous sporting appeal it offers to fans is not paralleling good economic health, at least in the case of Estremadura, a team that in 2020 played in that professional football and that now awaits its expulsion from the League. Also its dissolution due to defaults and accumulated debts.

Connoisseur of modest football since his time as a player, Lyou want to get Rubiales He designed the First RFEF with the aim, among others, of avoiding the disappearance of clubs in the middle of a season, a situation that he experienced closely as a footballer and that is now being repeated with Extremadura. To prevent financial mismanagement by its leaders from tarnishing a club’s participation in its new competition, the RFEF announced and implemented stringent financial requirements for the teams that wanted to play it. In the case of the team Almendralejothat filter has not been able to avoid the terrible image that an abandonment in the middle of a league supposes.

The last to sign up

The Extremadura UD, trapped by its economy, it was the last club, of the 40 participants, to formalize the registration to be able to play the Primera RFEF, a step that he could not take until mid-August and only after obtaining legal support. Following the president’s moves on him, Manuel Franganillo, a Badajoz Mercantile Court issued a communication for the RFEF to accept the registration of his club without paying the guarantee required of other teams. The precautionary measure granted to Extremadura, within the voluntary bankruptcy procedure, allowed it not to have to pay the entirety of that guarantee, but the passing of the months has confirmed that that decision was only a flight forward because the Extremaduran team prepare for his death. Franganillo has announced a press conference for this Monday in which he could already give clues about the immediate future.

Sportingly, Extremadura is already history after the Saturday’s absence against Racing de Ferrolthe second non-appearance of the season, which leads to his exclusion from the RFEF First League and administrative relegation when the Competition rules in the coming days.

As it happened already in November before before having to play in Riazor, the squad called a strike due to non-payments and the poor conditions of its footballers, and did not travel to Galician lands either. The dressing room, however, already had little to do with the one that called that first break against Deportivo de La Coruña.

Not showing up at the Riazor did not change the course of a club in which defaults continued, so many players ended up leaving the Barça team in the winter market. The team was made up of players from the subsidiary, who have kept the club alive, at least in sports, until this Saturday despite the breaches and Franganillo failed promises.
