September 20, 2023 Spain Players Agree To End Boycott Ahead Of Nation’s League Games

Victor Francos, Spanish Secretary of State for Sports, has announced that most of the Spain women's team have agreed to end their boycott. This decision was reached at 05:00 local time on Wednesday following over seven hours of deliberations.

Two 23 players initially called up for this month's Nations League matches have withdrawn from the squad.

Francos revealed that the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) has committed to implementing "immediate and profound changes."

The boycott was initiated in response to the controversial incident where then RFEF president Luis Rubiales kissed forward Jenni Hermoso following Spain's victory over England in the Women's World Cup final last month. Hermoso stated that the kiss was not consensual, leading to Rubiales' resignation and the dismissal of Spain manager Jorge Vilda.

Spain is scheduled to face Sweden on Friday and Switzerland in the Nations League on Tuesday.

Francos, who leads the Spanish government's national sports agency (CSD), stated, "It is encouraging news to confirm that the team will participate in the next two games with assurance."

The Spain players travelled to the training camp in Valencia on Tuesday in preparation for the upcoming matches.
