Colchoneros on the Charge: Legal Battle Against UEFA
Atlético de Madrid fans are preparing for a possible legal battle against UEFA, fueled by the controversy surrounding the annulment of Julián Álvarez’s penalty.
Following the publication of reports suggesting manipulation in the video used by UEFA to justify the decision, the International Union of Atlético de Madrid Fan Clubs, along with other groups, has requested explanations from the European body.
In the absence of a response, they do not rule out filing a lawsuit to defend the honor of the Rojiblancos club, even reaching the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) if necessary.
This movement is reinforced by a recent case of a Norwegian women’s club, Brann, who won a lawsuit against UEFA at the CAS for a fine imposed after displaying a satirical banner. This precedent fuels the hope of the Colchoneros fans, demonstrating that it is possible to defeat UEFA in this type of legal dispute.
Although aware of the difficulty and cost of the process, the fans are determined to go to the ultimate consequences in their defense of Atlético de Madrid. This case, although different from that of Brann, serves as inspiration for the Rojiblanco supporters who seek justice and transparency in arbitration decisions. The passion and commitment of the Colchoneros fans are the driving force behind this fight against UEFA.
