Spanish Football Federation secretary general sacked in wake of Rubiales kiss row | Breaking News News

Must read



The secretary general of the Spanish Football Federation has been sacked after it reached a deal with women players who threatened to boycott the national team.

Andreu Camps has been dismissed in the wake of the Luis Rubiales scandal.

Rubiales, the former president of the Spanish FA, resigned earlier this month after kissing Spanish women’s player Jennifer Hermoso without her consent at the World Cup final in August.

Rubiales initially refused to quit and only stepped aside after weeks of criticism.

Spain’s women’s players had been boycotting the national side while calling for changes at the federation but a deal was reached to end the walkout on Wednesday.

The federation said it will not appoint a new general secretary and the secretary general’s duties will be assumed on an interim basis by Elvira Andrés and Alfredo Olivares until an election can take place.
