Kissing scandal: Spain’s footballers agree on reform process with association

The Spanish professional footballers, the national association RFEF and the highest sports authority CSC have founded a joint commission to ensure far-reaching reforms after the kissing scandal. The association announced this. This includes, among other things, an end to sexual violence such as the kiss that the now resigned RFEF President Luis Rubiales forced on world champion Jennifer Hermoso at the world champions’ award ceremony in Sydney in August.

The national players then threatened to go on strike. This was averted when both sides agreed on reform steps and the formation of the commission at the end of September.

RFEF President Pedro Rocha highlighted the importance of the agreement. “It is a very important day for all of us. We have listened to this team and are trying to solve all the problems,” he was quoted as saying in an RFEF statement. The aim is to develop mechanisms for prevention and response to situations in which discrimination or sexual harassment and harassment based on gender occur.

But it’s not just about preventing behavior like the forced kiss on Hermoso’s mouth in the future, but also about measures to further professionalize women’s football, the newspaper wrote The country. It is also about a fair remuneration system in all sports categories. The parties also undertake to take concrete measures to protect young mothers and the right to breastfeeding and to propose mediation mechanisms.

The national players started training next Monday before the next two Nations League games. This Friday, under the direction of national coach Montse Tomé, we face Italy and next Tuesday against Switzerland.
