Lunge to blondism. On the same day that marked one month since the Spanish team touched the sky in Sydney proclaiming themselves world champions, the players celebrated another triumph, that of the dismissal of Andreu Camps. The general secretary of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) has been the right hand of Luis Rubiales, the brain of the harshest statements against the footballers and the person responsible for 20 of the 23 internationals being called up on Monday against the will of he.
The fall of Camps was non-negotiable for the footballers, one of the red lines they marked in their statement on Friday in which they demanded a restructuring of the general secretariat. From the beginning, Camps hindered the professionalization of the women’s league, which he wanted to continue keeping under the umbrella of the Federation, and even went so far as to oppose the national team’s players wearing their names on their backs under the pretext that it had a high cost. and it wasn’t necessary. He is the real brain of blondeism. The lawyer has opposed her departure tooth and nail, but her fall was inevitable to achieve the regeneration demanded by the players and the Higher Sports Council itself. Her dismissal, which was communicated to her by Pedro Rocha, president of the Management Board, will entail a high settlement. From this moment, and in this time of transition until the end of the electoral process, her functions will be assumed by the director of the Presidential Cabinet, Elvira Andrés, in the representative field as secretary of the governing and representative bodies of the Federation. Likewise, the executive functions will be assumed by Alfredo Olivares, current Director of Competitions. Olivares was one of those attending the controversial party that Rubiales organized in Salobreña.
The fall of Camps was one of the old demands of the footballers but its strong ties in the federative structure made it almost untouchable.
