In a significant turn of events, most members of the Spain women’s national football team have decided to end their boycott, marking an end to a protest that began after a controversial incident during the Women’s World Cup final last month. The decision was announced by Victor Francos, the Spanish secretary of state for sports, following marathon meetings that lasted over seven hours.

This resolution comes after the Spanish football federation (RFEF) pledged to enact “immediate and profound changes” within the organisation. The boycott began when former RFEF president Luis Rubiales kissed forward Jenni Hermoso without her consent in the aftermath of Spain’s victory over England in the Women’s World Cup final.
