The World Cup champions of Spain can continue their strike even after Luis Rubiales’ resignation.

Next week, the Spanish women’s national team will play matches against Sweden and Switzerland in the inaugural Women’s Nations League.

Even though Luis Rubiales resigned as president of the Spanish Football Federation, it is still unknown whether the women’s national team will end its strike in time for next week’s Nations League games.

Since he kissed Jenni Hermoso during the trophy presentation following Spain’s triumph over England in the Women’s World Cup final, Rubiales, 46, has been embroiled in controversy. Despite Rubiales’ fevered claims to the contrary, Hermoso later determined the kiss to be non-consensual.

FIFA suspended the disgraced FA chief. Rubiales, who resigned from his position in an interview with Piers Morgan on Sunday, has been called to testify in front of Spain’s High Court on Friday on allegations of sexual assault and coercion after Hermoso filed a complaint with the national prosecutor’s office on Wednesday.

In the startling aftermath of the main event, 80 Spanish athletes, including the 23 members of the victorious World Cup team, declared they would not play again until Rubiales quit.

Olga Carmona, the World Cup-winning team’s goal scorer, has not yet stated whether the team will continue its strike before their upcoming games against Sweden and Switzerland on September 22 and 26, citing the need to keep pressuring systemic change throughout Spanish football.

The 23-year-old told Spanish media that “there have been a number of changes.” We have a new coach, but we must first wait for the incoming group to see what will happen.

Less than a month after Spain won the World Cup, Jorge Vilda was fired as the Spanish FA tried to contain the issue’ growing damage. Vilda was already a controversial figure whose employment had previously sparked a strike by Spanish players over claims of mistreatment and inappropriate conduct.

Vilda was one of the prominent Spanish politicians who could be heard cheering Rubiales during the controversial press conference where he refused to step down in the face of “faux feminism.”

The federation declared that Montse Tome, Vilda’s previous assistant, would take his place for the upcoming Nations League games.

Although she was one of the 11 employees who offered their resignation the next day in a statement that advocated for the “restructuring and professionalisation” of the national squad, Tome, like Vilda, had appeared to cheer Rubiales’ speech.
