UAE Pro League dissolved, Emirates shocked – International news
The whole of Emirates received a major shock after the General Authority of Youth and Sports Welfare dissolved the status of the UAE Pro League. The league’s governing body, UAE Football League, was responsible for all the domestic proceedings but the recent
demobilization has put the staging of all the domestic events in danger.
UFL were already issued a couple of official warnings for using the wrong league name but the body kept on ignoring the authority’s word. UFL were asked to use the proper name i.e. the League of Pro Football Clubs. The governing body showed concerns over
the league’s lengthy name and demanded GAYSW to shorten the length of the name.
GAYSW, however, refused to shorten the name and disbanded the governing body. The domestic reigns have been handed over to the UAE Football Association. The decision came as a surprise for most of the football lovers in the country but it was more of a shock
for the newly appointed Al Wasl coach, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/VfL-Wolfsburg-c40881, also did not seem amused with the decision.
The club’s official website had a statement saying, "The UAE Football League received official notification today from the General Authority of Youth & Sports Welfare that the organisation will be disbanded due to a violation over its official name. The
notification advised that the UAE FA Board of Directors will assume responsibility of the League's rights and obligations towards the UAE's professional clubs for a one month transitory period. In keeping with the official notification, the UFL will continue
with its day to day operations until otherwise informed.”
Now the UAE Football Association would look after the domestic affairs for a month’s time and their performance will be monitored by a committee. FA intends to develop a five-member committee which would keep track of the interim body’s performance after
which a new governing body would take place if needed.
The players have demanded a quick resolution to this matter or they could come under heavy suffering along with their respective clubs.
