If a club is sanctioned according to the rules, what is the national member federation's responsibility?

The responsibility of the national member federation, when a club is sanctioned, primarily involves enforcing the sanctions that have been imposed. This means that the federation must implement the disciplinary measures determined by the relevant governing body to ensure compliance with the rules.

By enforcing these sanctions, the federation maintains the integrity of the competition and ensures that the rules are upheld across all levels of the sport. Enforcing sanctions can involve taking actions such as suspending competitions involving the sanctioned club or monitoring the club's activities to ensure they align with the imposed penalties.

The enforcement of sanctions is crucial for upholding fair play and accountability within the sport, as it serves as a deterrent to future violations and ensures that all clubs operate under the same set of guidelines.
