Every member of the Spanish women’s national team, who just won the FIFA Women’s World Cup, has signed a joint statement saying they will not play for their country again while Luis Rubiales remains as President of the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF).


The statement was released just hours after Rubiales told a RFEF meeting that he would not resign, despite a wave of criticism after he kissed Spain midfielder Jenni Hermoso on lips during the trophy presentation in Sydney after the final in which Spain beat England 1-0, reports Xinhua.
