BARCELONA: Spanish internationals selected by new coach Montse Tome gathered Tuesday at the women’s national team training camp, despite declaring themselves unavailable, with doubts about their willingness to play in upcoming Nations League games persisting.
Most of Spain's international footballers have agreed to rejoin the squad, the government said Wednesday, following a strike by the World Cup winners over the disgraced former president of the federation forcibly kissing a player. The announcement followed hours of negotiations over player demands for further changes at the Spanish football federation (RFEF) after ex-president Luis Rubiales resigned. "We have arrived at a series of agreements which will be drawn up and signed tomorrow" between the RFEF and the Spanish government, Victor Francos, secretary of state for sports, told reporters, adding that two of the 23 called-up players did not wish to continue with the squad.
BARCELONA: Spanish internationals selected by new coach Montse Tome gathered on Tuesday (Sep 19) at the women's national team training camp, despite declaring themselves unavailable, with doubts about their willingness to play in upcoming Nations League games persisting.
BARCELONA: Striking Spanish internationals called up to the women's team reiterated their desire not to form part of the squad in a new blow for the shaken Spanish football federation (RFEF).
A number of Spain's World Cup-winning stars reluctantly reported for national team duty on Tuesday amid concerns they could face sanctions for refusing to be called up.
Striking Spanish internationals called up to the women's team reiterated their desire not to form part of the squad in a new blow for the shaken Spanish football federation (RFEF). New coach Montse Tome called up 15 of the Women's World Cup winners earlier Monday for Nations League matches, most of whom had said they did not want to play for their country until wider changes had been made at the federation. Former president Luis Rubiales resigned three weeks after he forcibly kissed midfielder Jenni Hermoso following Spain's triumph in Sydney on August 20, after receiving an unprecedented worldwide backlash.
Football star Jenni Hermoso has accused the Spanish federation of seeking to "intimidate and threaten" the World Cup champion players by calling them up against their will for two Nations League matches. The Spain international, who was forcibly kissed by former Spanish football federation (RFEF) president Luis Rubiales following her team's triumph in Sydney on August 20, was not included in the squad but expressed her support for the rest of her team-mates. "The players are certain that this is yet another strategy of division and manipulation to intimidate and threaten us with legal repercussions and economic sanctions," the player, currently with Mexican club Pachuca, said in a statement on X, formerly Twitter, on Monday.
