The captains of the Spanish men's national team have issued an official statement condemning the actions of the country's football federation (RFEF) president Luis Rubiales. Alvaro Morata, Cesar Azpilicueta, Rodri, and Marco Asensio called Rubiales' actions after the Women's World Cup final unacceptable. Goal.com reports on this.
In their statement, the captains first congratulated the women's national team on their historic victory in Sydney. They emphasized that this success would start a new era in Spanish women's football and serve as a source of inspiration for many women.
At the same time, the players expressed their solidarity with their colleagues following the incident involving Jenni Hermoso. In their view, Rubiales damaged the reputation of the organization he leads with his inappropriate behavior and acted contrary to sporting values.
It is worth noting that Luis Rubiales came under sharp criticism for kissing Jenni Hermoso without permission during the awards ceremony after the final match. Although FIFA has temporarily suspended him from his position, Rubiales has been refusing to resign.
The Spanish administrative court evaluated Rubiales' actions as "serious," but concluded they were not "very serious." The federation head stated that he is being treated unfairly and announced that he would fight to prove the truth.
