Spanish footballers Álvaro Morata, Caesar Azpilicueta, Rodrigo Hernández AND Marcus Asensio minutes before the start of the first training session before the Euro 2024 qualifying match against Georgia, a statement was read on behalf of the whole team on the situation of the head of Spanish football Luis Rubiales.
Recall that the president of the RFEF got into a scandal by kissing a footballer from the Spanish women’s team Jennifer Hermoso after winning the World Cup.
First of all, we want to once again express our pride and sincere congratulations to the women’s team for winning the world champion title in Sydney. A historic milestone full of significance that will divide Spanish women’s football into ‘before’ and ‘after’, inspiring many women with an invaluable triumph. We therefore want to express our regret and solidarity with the players whose success has been tarnished.
We find Mr. Rubiales’ behavior unacceptable, which does not correspond to the institution he represents.
We are firmly and clearly on the side of the values that sport represents. Spanish football must be an engine of respect, inspiration, inclusiveness and diversity and must lead by example both on and off the pitch.
