The Spanish world champions have announced to their Federation that they still refuse to return to play for the national team following the “Rubiales affair”.

They are demanding more changes following the forced kiss scandal, AFP learned Friday from a source close to the governing body of Spanish football.

They don’t come back“, said this source. The announcement of this refusal comes a few hours before the presentation, scheduled for 4:00 p.m., of the list of the women’s “Roja” for the matches once morest Sweden and Switzerland in the Nations League, by the new coach Montsé Tomé.

Despite the resignation…

The 23 world champions announced at the end of August their refusal to wear the “Roja” jersey as long as the leaders of Spanish football remained in place, as a sign of protest following the forced kiss of the President of the Federation Luis Rubiales to the player Jennifer Hermoso, just following their world title on August 20 in Sydney.

However, the authorities seemed optimistic in recent days, citing the resignation of Rubiales on Sunday and the dismissal last week of women’s team coach Jorge Vilda.
