"The Spanish men’s team has expressed “solidarity” with the World Cup-winning women’s side in condemning Luis Rubiales’s “unacceptable behaviour”.

In a significant intervention which pushes the beleaguered federation president closer to the brink, players said the women’s team’s triumph over England was “tarnished”.

Alvaro Morata, César Azpilicueta, Rodri and Marco Asensio, the team’s captains, issued the statement as the kiss furore enters a third week. Rubiales, who reaffirmed his plan “to prove the truth” over the weekend, is refusing to relent despite global criticism for kissing player Jenni Hermoso on the lips on Aug 20. Rubiales is serving a 90-day suspension by Fifa and has been ordered not to contact Hermoso, who says the kiss was not consensual.

In the statement, the men’s players have said they wanted to “highlight several issues regarding the latest events that have damaged the image of Spanish football”. Their statement went on: “First of all, we want to convey, once again, our pride and our most sincere congratulations to the Women’s National Team for the title of world champions in Sydney."

Community Sport

"In 2019, the community futsal coach took it upon herself to maintain the team connection by forming Bayside Futsal Women and inviting players to come for a casual kick every week.

Ravi’s playing group is part of a growing trend in community sports over the past decade where participation has shifted away from organised sports, such as formal clubs, and toward informal sports where people come together and participate.

Monash University Professor Ruth Jeanes, who has been investigating participation trends in sport, said younger marginalised groups within mainstream sporting settings were turning to informal participation.

The costs associated with formal sports could often be a barrier, she said, and the inclusive nature of informal settings was a factor in the rise in informal participation." ... See MoreSee Less
