The Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) announced this Wednesday that it will accelerate the “planned changes” in the relationship with the players of the national team and that it is “aware of the absolute need to start a new phase.”
The organization has guaranteed it is committed to “closing the open institutional crisis” after the World Cup by publishing a declaration of principles following a meeting with players yesterday mediated by Spain’s Supreme Sports Council.
In a note published this Wednesday, the RFEF said it “recognizes the absolute need to start a new phase” and thus “close the open institutional crisis” after beating England 1-0 in the championship final. World Championships held in Australia and New Zealand.
The RFEF expresses its support to “all international women who experience unwanted circumstances” and repeats the request “to apologize for what happened after winning the World Cup, each of them, and in particular Jenny Hermoso, immersed in a situation that was not created.” “We will always support them,” the organization emphasizes.
It is “important for the federation to note, given the events of the last few hours, that at no time was there any intention to create more noise and pressure on the players” and it “deeply” regrets that this has been taken into account in the chosen form of call-up for the upcoming games.
New selector Monse Thomé announced his squad for the two Nations League games on Monday, but the squad responded with a statement reaffirming their desire not to be called up until the necessary changes were made.
“In recent days, we have publicly committed ourselves to making structural changes to begin a new, absolutely necessary phase that respects the criteria of good governance, transparency and equality,” states RFEF.
The RFEF emphasizes that players “must feel that the Federation is their home, a safe place where they can demonstrate their professionalism and sportsmanship and have the honor of representing Spain.”
“The steps taken so far” by the current RFEF leadership “have always been with this goal in mind,” he asserts. However, the federation admits that until Tuesday it had failed to “create an atmosphere of trust with international teams.”
“We have accelerated the planned changes and communicated the decision to both CSD and international players. Spanish football deserves absolute recognition and all of us who are part of it must unite to achieve this,” concludes the RFEF message.
