The Royal Spanish Football Federation will file a complaint against the players of the women’s national team
The Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) expressed dissatisfaction with the players of the women’s national team. El Espanol reports this.
RFEF management and staff will file a complaint for coercion and defamation against the national team’s female players, who are demanding their resignation as a condition for continuing to play as part of the team. It is noted that the interim president of the federation, Pedro Rocha, called on the athletes to abandon the boycott, giving them until September 18 to make a decision.
On September 15, it was reported that 23 female football players refused to return to the Spanish national team after a scandal with former RFEF president Luis Rubiales. The former head of the organization, who kissed team captain Jennifer Hermoso at the 2023 Women’s World Cup, has been charged with sexual assault and coercion.
At the awards ceremony, Rubiales put a medal on Hermoso and kissed the soccer player on the lips. This drew criticism from the media and Spanish politicians. After the scandal, Rubiales apologized and said that he did it without malicious intent.
