The Club Voleibol Leganés faces a sanction from the RFEV for not showing up to a match in Ourense on January 24th. The club defended its decision, made for the safety of the players amid a severe storm with traffic restrictions, a fact that even prevented the referees from traveling. Now, with a campaign on social media and signature collection, they ask the Federation to reconsider the penalty.
Incident Management and Protocols in Sports Competitions 📋
This case highlights a failure in incident management protocols. A well-designed system should include force majeure clauses with objective criteria based on official AEMET alerts and government restrictions. Automation of these verifications and a centralized communication process could avoid automatic sanctions, allowing for a technical and rapid evaluation of exceptional circumstances.
The New Tactical Coach: Meteored 🌪️
It seems that the strategy to win Superliga 2 now involves checking the weather app first. If the weather report doesn't give the green light, better to stay home. Perhaps the RFEV expects teams to travel by boat or for players to demonstrate their beach-volleyball skills in the middle of a blocked road. A peculiar way to foster the spirit of overcoming adversity.
