translated from Spanish: ANFP explained why he won UC first A and not S. Wanderers in the B

The Council of Presidents decided to suspend Chilean football during 2019 and one of the main controversies that generated on this day was the decision that there will be no promotions, no drops in the categories. However, Catholic University was proclaimed champion of the First A, but the same was not the case with Santiago Wanderers who stayed if he climbed the division. The manager of Professional Leagues of the ANFP, Rodrigo Robles, explained that this situation is because the “Conmebol requires to qualify a champion, since that earns a classification to an international competition. With regard to b has a different category, it generates different actions such as promotions, which the Council of Presidents decided would be in any of the three categories”. For his part, the president of the “caturros”, Rafael González stated that they feel harmed, as their right to climb earned it “on court”. In addition, he commented that “we made all our pleas, according to the legal opinion we have to do to reverse the decision. Wanderers’ arguments were not considered. It’s unfair. Just as a criterion for the First Division was used, it should have been applied for B.” We are quite upset, distressed by the Council’s decision. Fundamentally, because our institution and our players made the effort the whole championship,” added González.De fact, the president did not rule out going to the TAS, which for the ANFP the Fifth Region team is in every right, because Robles expressed that “We are not one to prevent him from taking an action for which they understand that they may have been harmed. It is not for me to rate whether it is fair or not”
