BARCELONA: Most of Spain’s women’s national team have agreed to stay with the squad, the government said Wednesday, following a strike by the World Cu...
National Sports Council President Victor Francos talks to reporters outside a hotel after a meeting involving the Spain women's players, RFEF officials, the National Sports Council and the women's players' union FUTPRO in Oliva, eastern Spain, September 20, 2023.
The departing duo, Mapi Leon and Patri Guijarro, were among 15 players who went on strike before the World Cup in protest at the methods of then national coach Jorge Vilda and other issues with the federation. In the hours before the deal was announced, internationals selected by Tome gathered for training despite declaring themselves unavailable, some expressing fear of facing sanctions if they refused to play.
They had faced possible fines of between 3,000 and 30,000 euros , while they could also have lost their licences to play for up to five years. “We are content because the truth is that changes are being made, and in this we are giving full support to our team-mates.”
