Possible scenarios


There are three possible scenarions of the final resolution that the TAS will announce today.

1st Reject the Catalan appeal.
2nd Accept the Catalan appeal and force the FIRS to re-admit the Catalan national team as full member of the International Federation.
3rd Oblige the FIRS to repeat the Assembly held in Fresno.

In case of a positive resolution for the Catalan appeal the most probably scenario would be the 3rd one. However, this would imply that the Catalan federation will become again a provisional member of the FIRS as it was before Fresno's assembly.
Since the next FIRS congress has not been scheduled until 2007, surely that would imply that, if the FIRS doesn't decide to have an extraordinary congress, Catalonia would be in a position of demand to participate in the next World Cup to be held next August in San Jose.
Hence, Catalonia would play in group A together with Portugal, Angola and Chile, and Macau who took the place of Catalonia. will not be allowed to play.


Very exciting isn't it? Let's wait and see....

Well... I would love that justice is done, but If they managed to corrupt last votation why shouldn't they do it again? Who is going to evoid it?

i want to notice you that today TAS-CAS will only hear both parts and all witness.then they would take some time, from 1 to 2 month, to take the final resolution. i hope that would be the second one you said but i think that would be the third one.

thank you

I believe it would be Macau to drop out, not England, as Macau moved from 4th to 3rd at the B Worlds.

It would be fair to adopt the second solution.

You are right. It is Macau who took the place of Catalonia and therefore they would be relegated to the B World Cup.
Thanks for your comment
