OFFICIAL STATEMENT The players of the Absolute National Team, recent world champions, as well as their teammates, wish to express, as they did on August 25, 2023, their enormous discontent after the events that occurred at the medal ceremony at the Women's World Cup and the subsequent extraordinary assembly of the Royal Spanish Football Federation. The events that unfortunately everyone has been able to see are not something specific and go beyond sports. We must have zero tolerance for these acts, for our companion, for ourselves and for all women. After several weeks after what happened, we want to make public the holding of various meetings with the RFEF in which the staff has expressed clearly and forcefully the changes that we understand are essential to be able to move forward and reach to a structure that does not tolerate or take part in such degrading events. The players of the Spanish team have at all times had an open attitude to dialogue, seeking to convey clear and reasoned reasons that we understand are necessary to be able to carry out our work at the highest level with the respect we deserve. The specified changes to the RFEF are based on zero tolerance for those people who, from a position within the RFEF, have had, incited, hidden or applauded attitudes that go against the dignity of women. We firmly believe that strong changes are required in the leadership positions of the RFEF and specifically, in the area of women's football. All of these people understand that they must be far from the system that should protect us and that unfortunately is far removed from an advanced society. Due to the above, we break down in detail the changes requested so that this type of attitude does not happen again, and in order to have absolute transparency:
• Restructuring of the women's football organization chart
• Restructuring of the presidential cabinet and General Secretariat
• Resignation of the president of the RFEF Restructuring of the communication and marketing area Restructuring of the integrity department
Today, as we have transmitted to the RFEF, the changes that have occurred are not enough for the players to feel in a safe place, where women are respected, there is a commitment to women's football and where we can give our maximum performance.
We want to end this statement by expressing that the players of the Spanish team are professional players, and what fills us most with pride is wearing the shirt of our team and always leading our country to the highest positions. For this reason, we believe that it is time to fight to show that these situations and practices have no place in our football or in our society, that the current structure needs changes and we do it so that the next generations can have a much more equal football and the height of what we all deserve.

Just finished watching #SeAcabó and honestly, I have no words. I don’t believe in the death penalty but these men make me wanna re-address my position.
The years of abuse these poor women have put up with is horrific and it’s terrifying that not much has changed even after all of this has come to light.
What really stood out to me was the fact that Mapi, Patri and Pina weren’t in this at all. They all stood firm in their convictions and refused to compromise. They’re incredibly brave.
I would have liked to have heard their perspectives, particularly any insight into the conversation between Alexia and Mapi after Alexia met with R*biales and tried to convince all 15 to come back to the NT. Given that this was (more than likely) Mapi’s last chance to play in a World Cup, it hurts just that little bit more.
I’ve seen lots of discourse around Laia and Aitana. My take - Laia made a career decision that benefited her and like it or not, most players have done so in their lifetime. She was put in a difficult situation as a young player. That’s the reasons she’s also at Arsenal now, because nothing has changed for these girls. Aitana of course has no obligation to be friendly towards her and ultimately, Aitana also played in the WC….
Final thoughts: Jenni is a phenomenal human being. I couldn’t fathom coping the slew of abuse that she did and still showing up for her team and her friends. For her to fight and to take the RFEF on publicly when they and the media clearly displayed (and continue to display) their contempt for her, is so admirable.
Contigo Jenni. We’re all with you.
May we all be brave enough to call out the hypocrisy, lies and disgusting behaviour of people around us.

Spanish Women's Soccer Ignites Change
Players have fought tirelessly, defying stereotypes and demanding change. The struggle of Spanish players is a pivotal moment in the ongoing battle for women's rights in football. Why did it take so long for their voices to be heard?
Since the 2015 World Cup, they've been vocal about their concerns, enduring exile and relentless criticism. It wasn't until the federation president openly kissed Hermoso on the lips that the tide started to turn.
Recognize the bigger picture: women's issues are linked. Challenge the system that enables their oppression and its defenders.

Calacus Monthly Hit & Miss – The Spanish Women’s National Team and the RFEF
Every month we look at the best and worst communicators in the sports world from the last few weeks.
The 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup saw the Spanish national team deservedly lift the trophy for the first time after defeating England’s Lionesses by a single goal in the final at Stadium Australia in Sydney.
The end of the tournament also offered a moment, at last, to pause and reflect on a breathless month of raw emotions, technical brilliance and numerous shattered records.
Despite all of the quality, though, there still remained something of a sour taste in the mouth given the adversity to which so many of the women’s players were subjected.
In the face of this, the players repeatedly proved that they were unafraid to stand up for what they believe is right.
This was typified months before the tournament had even begun, when a player-led campaign successfully removed Visit Saudi as a sponsor for the 2023 World Cup.
During the tournament, we saw the struggles of the Nigerian team, who were one of a number of competing nations that were locked in a pay dispute with their own federation.
Former England striker Ian Wright weighed in on Twitter to show his total support for the Nigerian players after their superb and surprise victory over co-hosts Australia.
Meanwhile, England goalkeeper Mary Earps regularly criticised Nike’s decision not to sell her jersey, despite her being one of the stars of the World Cup.
There were also rumblings of discontent about the reported pay disparity between Lionesses coach Sarina Wiegman and her male counterpart, Gareth Southgate, even though Wiegman has had a far better record in the role.
All of this came in the context of a vast gap in prize money offered by FIFA between this Women’s World Cup and the men’s 2022 edition in Qatar.
Tactics, performances and professionalism had clearly taken great strides forward. At the same time, in the fight for equal conditions, it still felt like there is a long way to go.
The plight of the women’s players was summarised aptly by iconic USWNT star Megan Rapinoe in an interview with The Atlantic. She explained that female players are constantly “playing two games at the same time” – off the pitch as well as on the pitch.
Never could this have been more apparent than in the case of the eventual champions Spain.
The Spanish team came into the tournament already under a cloud.
At the back end of 2022, a group of 15 first-team players had sent identical emails to the Spanish football federation (RFEF) requesting the removal of Jorge Vilda as manager.
The exact reasons have still not been specified, although it is understood that the players had issues with Vilda in terms of his personal behaviour as well as his tactical shortcomings.
In response, the RFEF doubled down and backed their man, declaring that the 15 players had been “poorly advised” and threatened bans of up to five years.
The mutinous players, dubbed “Las 15,” were cast aside and Vilda was given the ultimate vote of confidence to continue in his work.
Prior to the World Cup, Vilda recalled just three of the 15: Aitana Bonmatí, Mariona Caldentey and Ona Batlle.
"The RFEF has always been open to dialogue. The conflict is practically resolved, a few details would remain. We would be delighted if that were the case, but we look at the players who are committed and have shown their commitment," Vilda said after confirming his World Cup squad.
The rest of the 15, including many FC Barcelona Femení stars who had just won the UEFA Women’s Champions League, were excluded.
Accordingly, the ignored rebels treated the tournament in a similar manner, going through their individual summers with absolutely zero acknowledgement of any international football event which might be taking place.
Whether it is considered petty and disrespectful or brave and honourable, what this stance certainly has done is exemplify the glaring political divide within Spanish women’s football.
In spite of this internal turmoil, the selected Spanish players displayed miraculous resolve to concentrate on the sport during the World Cup.
There were glimpses of the bitterness between the players and Vilda throughout their run to the final; most notably when two-time Ballon d’Or winner Alexia Putellas blatantly blanked Vilda as she was substituted in the semi-final against Sweden.
When Spain arrived to face England in the final, the capacity crowd in Sydney showed whose side they were on as a chorus of boos greeted the announcement of Vilda’s name.
In the final itself, Spain were fabulous and a superbly-taken goal from captain Olga Carmona was enough to win the game. After the match had ended, Carmona discovered that her father had passed away earlier that same day.
Nonetheless, the 23-year-old captain still appeared at the homecoming party in Madrid only days later to greet the rapturous crowd and deliver a beautifully touching speech describing her incredible range of emotions.
Back in Australia, the separate groups of celebrations at the full-time whistle illustrated the distinct dissociation between players and staff.
For the trophy presentation, the RFEF president, Luis Rubiales, ensured that he was going to be front and centre.
Whereas earlier in the year, the FC Barcelona Femení players had to collect their own medals after winning the Spanish Super Cup, this time the RFEF leader piggybacked onto the success of the women’s team to put himself firmly in the headlines.
Firstly, Rubiales was caught on camera making an obscene gesture with his groin in the stands right beside Queen Letizia of Spain and her 16-year-old daughter.
On the podium, Rubiales, having already unnecessarily hugged, touched the face and kissed the cheek of various English and Spanish players, abused his position of power one time too many as he planted a kiss on the lips of Spanish attacker Jenni Hermoso.
Suddenly, even in their crowning moment, a time that should have been nothing but euphoria for each and every member of the squad, the achievement of the players had become overshadowed by the ugly actions of this man.
Rather than swiftly dealing with their president, the RFEF was busy not reading the room and tweeting “Vilda In,” a tweet that was met with a mix of anger and despondency – described politely as a disheartening statement, and candidly as a disgrace.
When it was finally time for Rubiales to face the music, he vociferously swatted away any criticism of his actions. Speaking to Spanish broadcaster COPE, he referred to the people who were unhappy with his actions as “idiots” and “stupid people.”
“It was a kiss between two friends celebrating something,” Rubiales said dismissively. “Let’s ignore them [the critics] and enjoy the good things.”
Within a day, however, Rubiales had performed a sudden volte-face and was releasing a video online with a half-baked apology.
In a short address to camera, Rubiales stated: “I was surely wrong, I have to admit it, because at a moment of maximum effusiveness, without any bad intentions, without any bad faith, well, what happened happened.
“We didn’t understand [the controversy] because we saw it as something natural, normal,” he added. “But outside it seems that a commotion has formed, and of course if there are people who have felt damaged by this, I have to apologise, I have no other choice.”
It was evident from his words that Rubiales couldn’t see what he had done wrong.
Shortly afterwards, despite saying “I didn’t like it [the kiss], but what do I do?” in an Instagram live video from the changing room after the incident, it seemed that Hermoso had also performed a U-turn when a statement attributed to her was released.
"It was a mutual gesture, totally spontaneous because of the immense joy that comes from winning a World Cup," read the statement provided by the RFEF.
“The president and I have a great relationship, his behaviour with all of us has been top notch,” it continued. “A gesture of friendship and gratitude cannot be given any more thought. We have won a World Cup and we are not going to deviate from what is important.”
Astonishingly, it subsequently emerged that the ‘Hermoso statement’ had been fabricated by the RFEF.
Rubiales was alleged to have unsuccessfully pleaded with Hermoso to defend him in a joint statement. Vilda then approached her family on three occasions, desperate for Hermoso to appear alongside Rubiales in the apology video.
Having remained silent for as long as she could, Hermoso finally spoke out four days after the final and two days after the false statement had been released, as she released her own joint statement with FUTPRO.
Hermoso said: "We express our firm and resounding condemnation of conduct that violates the dignity of women.
"From our association, we ask the Royal Spanish Football Federation to implement the necessary protocols, ensure the rights of our players and adopt exemplary measures.
"It is essential that our national team, current world champion, is always represented by figures that project values of equality and respect in all areas.”
If Rubiales’ position didn’t already appear untenable, the statement from Hermoso triggered numerous senior voices, in the world of both sport and politics, to call for his resignation.
Beatriz Álvarez Mesa, the president of Liga F (the top tier of Spanish women’s football), wrote an open letter to the government attacking Rubiales. Her comment that "the person that many of us know in private has been unveiled publicly" was utterly damning.
The Spanish Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, described Rubiales’ gesture as “unacceptable” and said that his “apologies are not enough.” At the same time, the Minister for Equality, Irene Montero, labelled the actions as “a form of sexual violence that women suffer on a daily basis.”
Tamara Ramos, a former employee of the Spanish players’ association and colleague of Rubiales, then spoke out about past humiliating treatment at the hands of the president.
In response to Ramos, the RFEF condemned the allegations and announced that they would sue her for the false allegations.
The stubborn, defensive approach of the federation was then superseded by Rubiales when a press conference was called for the following Friday morning, where it was widely expected that he would announce his resignation.
However, in a turn of events that was as jaw-dropping as it was depressing, Rubiales took to the stage to defiantly repeat that he would not resign. He went on to describe “false feminism” as “one of the scourges of this country” and placed himself as the victim of a witch hunt.
Worryingly, his comments received an outburst of applause by much of the audience, including from Vilda and Luis de la Fuente, the Spanish men’s team manager.
Immediately after this speech, a catalogue of prominent women’s players condemned Rubiales and spoke out in support of Hermoso.
Amongst others, Leah Williamson and Beth Mead nailed the Lionesses’ colours to the mast. Alex Morgan followed suit for the USWNT.
“This is unacceptable. It's over. With you partner @Jennihermoso” was the simple but powerful message posted by Putellas.
Bonmatí similarly tweeted: “There are limits that cannot be crossed and we cannot tolerate this. We are with you mate.”
The situation was perhaps best summed up by Dutch player, Merel van Dongen, who used the president of FIFA’s recent words against him.
Her post read: “Like the great great Infantino once said: ‘Women pick the right fights!’ Oooohh how the Spanish women are picking this fight. Proud to see how women, men, media and politics in Spain finally unite to change something that hasn’t been right for years. Se acabó. It’s time for justice.”
Although van Dongen mentioned men, there was a conspicuously smaller number of male players who publicly backed Hermoso.
Borja Iglesias ruled himself out of national team selection, Hector Bellerin vented his frustration via his Instagram story, and Barcelona captain Sergi Roberto quoted Putellas on Twitter to show support. Legendary Spanish goalkeepers David de Gea and Iker Casillas also denounced the “embarrassment” of Rubiales.
Unfortunately though, the majority of men’s players, both past and present, have remained silent on the issue, suggesting a significant sociopolitical divide between male and female players.
Top Spanish clubs then united behind the calls for Rubiales’ resignation, starting with Cadiz, then Getafe, Real Sociedad and Atletico Madrid, who hopped onboard the bandwagon, before eventually both Real Madrid and Barcelona joined them.
Hermoso herself responded to the press conference, confirming via her Twitter that the kiss was not “consensual”.
Her teammates then launched a boycott of the national team. A total of 81 players – including the entire World Cup winning squad – co-signed a letter saying they will not be available for international selection until the “federation leadership is removed.”
The weekend that followed the explosive press conference provided almost non-stop new developments.
Many journalists attributed Rubiales’ attitude as being symptomatic of a long-standing issue within the system of Spanish football governance.
This idea was further enforced when details of complaints against Rubiales going back as far as 2016 surfaced, as well as a disturbing video of disgraced former national team manager, Ignacio Quereda, intimidating and physically assaulting Spanish players.
Wary of the unprecedented damage that this drama was doing to their national reputation, the Spanish government opened up proceedings against Rubiales to get him forcibly removed from his post via tribunal.
Rubiales was then provisionally suspended from all football activity by FIFA.
Yet still, the RFEF circled around their man and threatened to take legal action against Hermoso for her “lies”, releasing their own breakdown of the kiss, claiming that Hermoso had initiated it.
The video evidence of Rubiales picking up numerous other Spanish players before Hermoso strongly opposes this allegation.
In addition, the RFEF general secretary wrote to UEFA to request to withdraw Spanish clubs from European competition due to government involvement breaking UEFA impartiality protocols.
UEFA have chosen not to respond to the RFEF request, nor make any comment on the situation surrounding their vice-president, raising questions about their values and vested interests.
Sometimes, no communication can be just as detrimental as poor communication.
A mass resignation of the Spanish coaching staff then left just Villa still in situ, but his position was hardly stable.
Misa Rodriguez, a member of Vilda’s World Cup winning squad, demanded his removal before the players could consider a return.
As eminent voices in world football, such as Lise Klaveness of Norway, continued to throw their support behind Hermoso, the people of Spain took to the streets in protest against the RFEF president.
The issue went as far as the UN Human Rights office, who said that the public stance on the kiss could be “a turning point” in terms of sexism and misogyny.
Perhaps the most bizarre part of the story came from Rubiales’ hometown of Motril, where his mother, Angeles Bejar, locked herself into a Church saying she would go on hunger strike in an attempt to end the “inhuman, bloodthirsty witch hunt” of her son. Bejar has since been hospitalised and discharged.
Eventually, more than a week after the World Cup final incident, the RFEF released an official statement requesting Rubiales to resign.
As it stands, Rubiales remains in post although how much longer he will stay there is anyone’s guess.
The saga has been widely reported as a ‘Me Too’ moment for Spanish society. The hashtag “#SeAcabó” (“It’s Over”) has trended on social media and has become the slogan for an end to gender inequality across the country.
In this way, weirdly, the actions of Rubiales could prove beneficial.
A textbook response when an individual or organisation does something wrong, either deliberately or by mistake, is to acknowledge what has happened, apologise and then commit to fix it.
On this occasion, even in his bumbled apology video, it was clear that Rubiales did not truly acknowledge what he had done wrong – the actions of the president and his organisation since has confirmed this.
Instead, the lack of self-reflection and understanding has caused this story to become one of the great communications own goals in living memory.
As such, perversely, it may just be the catalyst to push forward a long overdue culture clean-up.
The words and actions of Rubiales have shone a light on a deeply entrenched problem within Spanish football, a problem that former national team member Veró Boquete says players have “been living and suffering for a long time.”
Even though UEFA have attempted to avoid the matter, at their own grand ceremony in Monaco at the end of the month, England boss Wiegman delivered a passionate speech, dedicating her Women’s Coach of the Year award to the Spanish players.
“We all know the issues around the Spanish team,” said Wiegman, stood alongside UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin. “It really hurts me, as a coach, as a mother of two daughters, as a wife and as a human being.
“The game has grown so much, but there’s also still a long way to go in women’s football and in society,” she continued. “This team [Spain] deserves to be celebrated and deserves to be listened to.”
In complete juxtaposition to Rubiales and the RFEF, the communication of Wiegman, the Spanish players, and the many others who have supported them, has been simple, concise and devastatingly effective.
Rubiales appeared to have cemented himself into a position of untouchable authority within Spanish football, but the force of the united messaging by those in opposition to him has completely shattered that misconception.
Now, as the RFEF continue to dig themselves deeper into a crisis by watering down the long overdue statement of the Spanish men’s team, demonstrating yet again that their primary focus is to protect their president rather than the interests of those who they are supposed to represent, it almost matters not whether Rubiales leaves of his own accord, or is fired, as the patriarchy of the Spanish football federation has been exposed – and surely there is no turning back.
As Wiegman, Boquete and so many others have plainly stated: “It’s over.”

Now that it's been a week since the Se Acabó documentary came out, I'm wondering if you have any observations to share about how it's being received in Spain/by the Spanish press.
so the reception has been about what we expected in spain. overall, it looks like the viewing public have received the documentary positively. i've seen some people who were initially skeptical of the doc, who expressed liking it in the end. here's an article that looks at the critical reception and also concludes the positive comments outweigh the negative ones.
even the liga f president gave it a positive review 😅
relevo, especially, has some nice write-ups about the documentary. here are some other positive reviews:
'Se acabó', el documental de la selección femenina: los villanos Rubiales y Vilda y ataques entre ellas
Se acabó: Diario de las campeonas, es el documental de Netflix que no te dejará indiferente
"Se Acabó": el documental en el que las campeonas cuentan todo lo que sucedió
‘#SeAcabó: Diario de las campeonas’: aquel machismo impensable sin la complicidad de los grandes medios
as for the negative commentary, it's really only coming from the same people, like machistas and fachas, who have been consistently targeting jenni since the world cup. also, the same media outlets who were critical of 'las 15' and the players, like el país and el confidencial, trashed the documentary. so not surprised, but again the positive voices outweigh the negative ones! 🙏
