“If it happens, it’s a scandal.” The scenario that could punish Atzili in the league as well

by time news

The soccer association is waiting to see what decision will be made in the Supreme Court regarding the petition filed by the women’s organizations against the summoning of Omar Atzili to the Israel national team.

Ester Kobo, who served as one of the three judges in the panel that discussed the case, is pressing to transfer the decision to the ethics committee in the football association. This is contrary to the regulations that state that the same committee can discuss the issue only if Atzili belonged to the national team at the time of that event. Attorney Assaf Hadassi is in favor of rejecting the appeal and the voice of the head of the panel, retired judge Amnon Strashnov will decide and the decision will be made in the coming days.

The association explained that if the Ethics Committee receives permission to discuss the case, it is entitled to exclude Atzili from the Israel national team due to the necessity of the association’s basic regulations. If this happens, according to the regulations, Maccabi Haifa will also be in trouble. This is because the possible meaning is that the player may also be removed from the games in the league, by virtue of the authority of the ethics committee. “There is such a possibility, but if it happens, it’s a scandal,” said a senior member of the association.

The general opinion is that in any case, the decision that will be brought in the coming days will not be the last, and even if the judges will refer the decision to the ethics committee at the end of the hearing, one of the parties will turn to a district court.

The last time a person was prosecuted for violating the code of ethics was the coach Tzachi Tiar, who worked at Baka El Garbia and at the same time in the women’s national team of Israel. He was acquitted of the charge of making a racist statement against a member of the management at Bekah El Gharbia but was convicted of inappropriate behavior – which is a violation of the code of ethics and was fined.

In the past, Menachem Koretsky was also on trial after the association decided to prosecute him following remarks he made in a private phone conversation against a fan who called him while he coached Beitar Jerusalem and teased him, in both cases of Tiar and Koretsky, the judge of the disciplinary court, attorney Giora Landau, sat.
