The culture had become toxic long before the disgraced former president's behaviour in Sydney - now he's gone a long overdue rebuild can begin
, partly due to his public applause of Rubiales , his departure was the first sign that winning the World Cup will no longer be an excuse for allegedly coercive and controlling behaviour.
The RFEF’s culture had become toxic long before Rubiales’ behaviour at the final gave a glimpse into the issues that had harrowed women’s football in the country for a long time. Liga F only became professional ahead of the 2021-22 season. Last weekend, its fixtures were abandoned with players on strike for the first two weeks of the new campaign as they continue to battle for what they call a “dignified minimum wage”.
The players are in a stronger position than ever, having shown the technical gulf between the Spanish national side and the rest of the world – and that is without 12 of their best players, including Mapi Leon, Lucia Garcia and Laia Aleixandri. After the World Cup final, a total of 81 players ruled themselves out of international duty, including all 23 who had won the tournament, until Rubiales was gone.
