Luis Rubiales, the president of the Spanish Football Federation, has resisted pressure to resign following the controversial stolen kiss incident that caused outrage in Spain.
In response to this situation, members of the Spanish national women’s team signed a collective letter expressing solidarity with the affected player and announcing their decision to boycott national team call-ups if current leaders maintained their stance.

She emphasizes that she will « no longer play for the national team as long as the current leaders remain in place. »
