The Spanish football federation is under scrutiny as players express their commitment to change and address ongoing issues. This includes 21 of the 23 members of the World Cup-winning squad. They have called for a restructuring of the federation, the resignation of the temporary president, and changes in various departments.
The players are advocating for a safer environment for women in football and a more robust commitment to women’s football. They aim to ensure that future generations can enjoy a more equal playing field. This move follows the sacking of Spain’s head coach Jorge Vilda and the appointment of Montse Tome as the first woman to hold the position of Spain women’s boss.
The Spanish government has also assured players that changes will be implemented to address these concerns. These developments come in the wake of allegations against former federation president Luis Rubiales, who has been banned from approaching Amanda Hermoso, the player who filed a legal complaint.
The situation reflects the players’ determination to advocate for a more inclusive and respectful football environment.
