While Jordi Bertomeu revealed that the decision of the clubs is to not change the EuroLeague schedule, the Spanish players association has not the same view.
As Spanish newspaper “El Mundo Deportivo” reports that the according to Spanish law the players are required to play for their national team. “The Euroleague can not do that because the rules force athletes to answer the call of their national teams,” says Rafa Jofresa , general secretary of the union. Specifically it includes the article 47 of the Sports law , which in its paragraph 1 states that ” it is the duty of the athletes to attend the calls for national sports teams in order to participate in international competitions, or to prepare for them”.
