Ayer conocimos que Arpad Sterbik reemplazaba al portero de los #Hispanos, Gonzalo Pérez de Vargas debido a la confirmación de la lesión de éste y que le impedirá estar en la lucha por las medallas del Campeonato de Europa que se está disputando en Croacia.

Para aquellos que no estén familiarizados con la normativa de balonmano de la EHF (European Handball Federation), os detallamos a continuación la normativa en la que se sustenta este cambio de jugadores. En concreto debemos acudir a los apartados 15 a 21 del artículo 13 de la normativa específica de la competición referente al registro de jugadores:
Players’ replacement
13.15. During the EHF EURO, any of the sixteen (16) announced players can be replaced by a maximum of six (6) new players from the original contingent of twenty-eight (28) or less during the competition in accordance with the following conditions:
– Up to two (2) players during the Preliminary Round
– Up to two (2) players during the Main Round
– Up to two (2) players during the Final Weekend
The date of the replacement(s) within the respective round can be chosen freely by the delegation (“Everyday Replacement Option”).
13.16. The delegations must inform the EHF Office at the venue (the “EHF Championship Office”) about the replacement of players by submitting in person or sending by email the duly completed stamped and signed official form for replacements as well as the passport or national identity card of the replaced player(s) (original copy). The information shall be submitted (in person or by email) to the EHF Office by 09:00hrs (in the morning) at the latest on the respective match day.
13.17. If a copy of the passport or national identity card of the replacing player(s) is sent/presented to the EHF Championship Office, the original passport or national identity card must be presented one (1) hour prior to the throw-off of the next match at the latest to the relevant EHF delegate (supervisor).
13.18. Upon confirmation of the replacement (only after presentation of the original passport or national identity card of the replacing player) by the EHF, the replacing player is added to the official Start List/match report of the next match of the team and the replaced player is removed.
13.19. A player being replaced can be entered again with a further replacement under the conditions referred to in articles 13.15 to 13.21. The maximum number of replacements possible in total is six (6).
13.20. If the player replaced is under suspension (for a certain period of time or a number of matches), the replacing player is eligible to participate in matches of the respective EHF EURO only after completion of the entire suspension period.
13.21. Additional costs arising from the replacement or the additional announcement of players must be borne by the related Member Federations, apart from the costs of local transportation – including the transport from and to the arrival airport – which are borne by the Host Federation(s).
Como podemos comprobar, el combinado nacional tenía la opción hasta las 9:00 de esta mañana para poder confirmar el cambio. Lamentablemente, Gonzalo Pérez de Vargas se despide del Torneo, pero estamos seguro que su sustituto estará a la altura del difícil reto que se le presenta a los #Hispanos esta tarde frente a los franceses.
