Official Statement: Objection to a proposed change in format for the Spanish Supercopa

Due to the inclusion of the point 'Approval of the new format for the Spanish Supercopa and calendar for the competition' on the agenda for the RFEF's Extraordinary General Meeting on April 29th, Valencia CF have sent the Spanish Federation a burofax message warning them of the "possible illegal nature of altering the competition in question in the present season" and advising that the club "reserve the right to take the relevant legal action in defence of our legitimate rights and interests, should the case reach the extreme of the point being approved at the General Meeting."
The system for the Spanish Supercopa is established based on sporting results from the previous season, as established for the current campaign in the RFEF's Circular nº 4 communication fro July 25th, 2018. In this message, on page 31, the participating teams are clearly defined thus:
“The clubs who have won the previous season's LaLiga title and the Copa del Rey. If the same club wins both the league and the cup, the Supercopa will be between the LaLiga champions and the runners-up in the Copa del Rey."
Hence, the General Meeting on April 29th may only vote for this change in format for the 2019/20 season onward, as doing otherwise would result in a change akin to a variation in the relegation and promotion system, under the pretext that the LaLiga title would formally belong to a different season.
