Jenni Hermoso said the decision to call up players who are boycotting Spain’s women’s team was proof that ‘nothing has changed’ at the country’s federation
Should the players refuse the call-up they could face fines of up €30,000 and the suspension of their federation licence for two to 15 years under Spain’s Sports Act. Victor Francos, the head of Spain’s government national sports agency, told SER radio station if the players did not show up “the government must apply the law”.
“The players are certain that this is yet another strategy of division and manipulation to intimidate and threaten us with legal repercussion and economic sanctions,” the 33-year-old striker said in a statement posted on X, formerly Twitter. “It is yet more irrefutable proof that shows that even today, nothing has changed.”
