The government and the body representing Spain’s women’s national football team said early on Wednesday that the World Cup-winning players had agreed to end their boycott of the national team after the Spanish Federation said it would make “immediate and profound changes” to the federation’s structure.
The decision was reached at around five in the morning after more than seven hours of meetings at a hotel in Oliva, an hour from Valencia, in which players and officials from the Spanish Federation, the National Sports Council of Spain and the Professional Women’s Players Association participated.
Victor Francos, head of the National Sports Council in Spain, told reporters, “A joint committee will be established between the Spanish Football Federation, the National Council and the players to follow up on the agreements that will be signed tomorrow.”
“The players have expressed their concern about the need for profound changes in the Spanish Federation and we are committed to making these changes immediately.”
Neither Francos nor Rafael del Amo, president of the National Women’s Football Committee, explained the nature of these changes, saying only that they would be announced “soon.”
