Football clubs' Olympics appeal fails
Mon 26 Jul, 2:35 PM
LISBON (Reuters) - Portugal have rejected requests by Manchester United and
Chelsea not to include Cristiano Ronaldo and Tiago Mendes in their Olympic
squad.
United winger Ronaldo and new Chelsea signing Tiago are expected to miss the
start of the English premier league season because of the Olympic Games being
held next month in Athens.
"We got requests from Chelsea and from Manchester United and we've already
responded," Gilberto Madail, chairman of the Portuguese Soccer Federation, told
the Mais Futebol website on Wednesday.
"We said that we're sorry, but we are counting on the two players for the
Olympic tournament, since the rules of (world soccer's governing body) FIFA are
very clear on this issue," Madail said.
He said the Olympic Games soccer tournament, which starts on August 11, was an
official competition and Portugal had no alternative but to include the players
whom he described as "essential" to the squad.
Ronaldo, who played a major role in host Portugal's run to the Euro 2004 final,
and midfielder Tiago have been joined by Fulham's Luis Boa Morte as an
over-age player alongside VfB Stuttgart defender Fernando Meira and Boavista's
Nuno Frechaut.
The English-based players could miss two weeks of the season if Portugal reach
the Olympic soccer final on August 28. They have been drawn with Iraq, Morocco
and Costa Rica in Group D.
United start their premier league campaign at Chelsea on August 14 and play
Norwich City and Everton before a visit to Blackburn Rovers on August 28.
Chelsea also have trips to Birmingham City and Crystal Palace before the visit
of Southampton on August 28.
Germany's Bundesliga kicks off on August 6 with Meira likely to miss
Stuttgart's matches at home to FSV Mainz and visits to Nuremberg and
Kaiserslautern.
The Portuguese Super Liga season starts on August 29.
