Spain’s World Cup-winning players are continuing their refusal to play for the women’s national team
, the country’s football federation said Friday, just hours before new coach Montse Tomé was set to announce her first squad.
The federation has been in upheaval since. Rubiales was first suspended by soccer governing body Fifa, then his interim replacement fired women’s national team coach Jorge Vilda, who was unpopular with players. Rubiales himself eventually resigned under immense pressure. Last year, 15 players similarly rebelled, asking for more “professional” coaching from Vilda. The federation — led by Rubiales — firmly backed Vilda, and only three of those players relented and were eventually included in the World Cup squad.
