“Yesterday it arrived a very severe email from UEFA and FIFA. He invites us to put pressure on the government authority to go back on this provision which violates sport autonomy”. He said it Gabriele Gravina, president of the FIGC, in the Culture Commission, ptalking about the sports law and the establishment of the Commission for the control of the accounts of professional clubs wanted by the Government. “The Commission is not agile and is governmental, furthermore we do not see the urgency requirements of the law because Covisoc does not follow the four-year Olympic period and registrations for the next championships have already been made. It is a rule that violates the principles of the autonomy of sport and the market economy”, Gravina then recalled speaking again about the Commission. “There is a gap in the decree – he continued -. Covisoc has two tasks: the first is to check that the professional clubs have the right economic-financial requirements for the purposes of registering the championships. While the second, of which we do not have found in the legislative decree, it is the continuous control during the payment season of emoluments and contributions. Our controls are bimonthly and for this reason 494 penalty points have been awarded to the companies. Our rules are more stringent than those of the sports decree.” Gravina then reiterated how Covisoc “worked brilliantly” during its life period and recalled how it was born in 1987. “Since that day – added the FIGC’s no. 1 – there have been 193 exclusions, only two cases have been welcomed by the TAR and the Council of State”. Finally, speaking about costs, you concluded: “Covisoc costs the FIGC a total of 400 thousand euros, compared to 3.5 million euros for the Commission, of which 1.9 million goes to the FIGC and 1.6 million to the clubs”. To those who spoke about the indebtedness of various football clubs, he specified that debt is “an institution foreseen in the market economy”therefore “I believe that the indebtedness of some entities is also partly due to the application and compliance with legal principles”.
