Sevilla Femenino Faces Disciplinary Action
The Association of Spanish Football Referees requested disciplinary proceedings against Sevilla Femenino on Monday following online criticism over a 2–2 draw against Logroño United.
Sevilla Femenino played Logroño United at Las Gaunas on Sunday during the 10th round of Liga F, according to match reports. The club used terms such as “sustraer, hurtar, birlar, sisar, robar…” in a post on X, formerly Twitter, in response to an official Liga F publication.
Disputed Late Equalizer in Logroño
Referee Ágata López allowed a late equalizer scored by Logroño United player Marta after multiple VAR reviews. The Sevilla Femenino official account posted on X: “Rescatar… O sustraer, hurtar, birlar, sisar, robar… Todos son sinónimos para una acción que todavía no tiene explicación en su arbitraje y posterior decisión.”
The visiting team contended that goalkeeper Sullastres held the ball with both hands before the loose ball was played. In a separate reply to Teledeporte, the club added: “Y todavía seguimos sin saber por qué se desdice ella sola de haberlo anulado previamente.”
Referee Association Demands Apology
The Association of Spanish Football Referees, known as AESAF, formally asked the RFEF’s women’s football discipline committee to open a disciplinary file against the club. AESAF issued a statement calling the public accusations inadmissible.
The association stated that the remarks crossed the line between legitimate sporting critique and attacks on professional dignity. AESAF also demanded that Sevilla issue an immediate public rectification and apology to referee Ágata López and the broader refereeing collective.
