Football: Spain's Women's World Cup Winners Continue Boycott Of National Team

Spanish Football Federation:  The 23 members of Spain's triumphant Women's World Cup-winning squad have informed the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) of their continued refusal to play for the team.

The 23 World Cup champions, along with an additional 12 players who previously declined to play while Jorge Vilda was the team coach, have made this collective decision. This comes despite Vilda's recent dismissal and the subsequent appointment of his former assistant, Montse Tome.

This development also follows mere days after Luis Rubiales announced his resignation as RFEF President. His decision came in the aftermath of a controversy where he was seen kissing Spanish player Jenni Hermoso on the lips during the celebrations of Spain's 1-0 World Cup final victory over England in August, reports Xinhua.
