Facundo Campazzo’s difficult moment at the Red Star: he is “tired and sad” and asks to be able to play in the Euroleague

The Argentine playmaker Facundo Campazzo does not live a happy moment in Red Star Belgrade, the club that protected him after being without a team in the NBA after two and a half seasons between Denver and Dallas. Cordovan arrived at the Serbian club at the end of December but is unable to play in the Euroleague At least until March due to a penalty imposed on the club, he asked today through his account on a social network to be able to play.

“I’m tired and sad about this whole situation. The only thing I ask is that you let me play”, Cordoba’s former baseman for Spain’s Real Madrid and NBA franchises Dallas Mavericks and Denver Nuggets pointed out on Twitter.

Campazzo cannot play in the Euroleague for a fine imposed by the EuroLeague Finance Panel after finding the Serbian club guilty of financial stability and fair play regulations.

“The sanctions imposed take into account the seriousness of the infractions, which included have overdue debts with players from current and previous seasons, as well as provide false or inaccurate informationwhich allowed the club to gain an unfair competitive advantage and to continue with its normal operations despite an irregularity,” read a EuroLeague statement.

“The College has also assessed the recidivism, given that the Serbian club had previously been sanctioned on two other occasions in recent years,” he continued.

By this way, Red Star cannot register new basketball players until March 1stgrappling with the latest instances of the Euroleague, and among these is Campazzo, who signed in recent days after his irregular time in the NBA in the last three seasons.

However, the Balkan team will try to challenge the sanction at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (TAS) to try to have all its reinforcements in the top continental competition at club level.

#LiberoFacu

Meanwhile, on social networks and also in stadiums, the club, players and fans of Red Star and basketball in general promote the hashtag #FreeFacu (free facu) to send a message to the Euroleague and allow them to go to the guard point that shone in Peñarol de Mar del Plata to be able to carry out his work.

This Friday, in the warm-up of the away game in Valencia (77-75 victory for the Serbs), Campazzo’s teammates showed off white shirts with the inscription #FreeFacu to put pressure on the organization with the aim of reviewing their sanction against the club as it harms players.
