This Monday, the Las Rozas Football City witnessed the signing of a historic agreement for women’s football. The Spanish internationals have signed, together with the Federation and the Higher Sports Council, the text that reflects the agreements reached in Oliva a month ago. From that tense and long meeting, which ended at dawn, a three-way mixed commission emerged that had to work to ensure compliance with all the agreements reached.
This Monday, Irene Paredes, Alexia Putellas and Olga Carmona, acting as captains of the national team, have signed their signature together with the president of the RFEF management commission, Pedro Rocha and the president of the CSD, Víctor Francos, who has recognized that “ “It is a happy day, but one that should never have happened.” “We are reaching an agreement on an unpleasant situation, of disagreement, but we have known how to respond, dialogue and agree. What begins is a path of dialogue, of changes and that we do not find ourselves again in the unpleasant situation of a few weeks ago,” Francos said.
For his part, Pedro Rocha has assured that they have “listened to this team” and that they have “their doors open” for everything they need. “Now we have to build bridges, open the RFEF, we have lived through very difficult times but we are going to move forward,” he promised. The president of the management company dedicated some special words to Jenni Hermoso: “I have to refer to Jenni because I know she has had a bad time and we are at her disposal,” he said before asking for applause for the Pachuca soccer player, who is returning. to a call-up with the Spanish team.
The president of the CSD, Víctor Francos, has described the players as “brave” and has extended his hand to them: “I want to thank the players who have been brave when it comes to saying enough, when it comes to negotiating and when it comes to agree.” “After your victory in Sydney, this would be the second happiest day I have experienced as president of the CSD. You have us by your side, we will be there for whatever you need,” he assured.
All the Spanish internationals who gathered this morning in Las Rozas to begin the concentration with the Spanish team to prepare for the Nations League matches against Italy and Switzerland were present at the signing of the agreement.
It is the first time that Jenni Hermoso returns to the national team since Luis Rubiales’ non-consensual kiss. A list from which the Blaugrana Irene Paredes and Enith Salón have been dropped due to injury, who have also traveled to Madrid to be evaluated by the Federation’s doctors.
