"We are with you": Fiamma Benítez resigns from the National Team until the RFEF leaders change

August 26 from 2023 - 09: 54

The U-20 women's soccer world champion, Fiamma Benítez, has joined this Friday the many shows of support that the senior team player Jenni Hermoso has received after suffering a sexual assault by the president of the Spanish Federation of Soccer, Luis Rubiales.

The events took place last Sunday during the celebration of the victory of the Spanish National Team in the Women's World Cup held in Australia. When picking up her medal, Rubiales pounced on Hermoso and kissed her on the mouth without the player's consent, as she had to confirm in a statement despite the fact that cameras around the world witnessed what happened. The president of the RFEF, far from acknowledging the act and apologizing, has pointed to Hermoso as responsible in different statements, the last of them in an appearance this Friday, receiving an ovation from dozens of members of the federation, including the selectors of both the women's and men's teams.

The Government has already announced that it is working to remove Rubiales from office due to his refusal to resign. However, what could be the last words in the position of the current leader have served to delve deeper into the open wound of the players, who have come together to show their support for Hermoso and have renounced being part of the team again. selection while they follow the same leaders in the federation. They have done so in a statement signed by all the members of the team that less than a week ago won a World Cup for Spain, and which have been joined by dozens of players.

Among them is the U20 world champion who emerged from the Dénia soccer school, Fiamma Benítez. The player did not hesitate to show her support for Jenni Hermoso after Rubiales' speech through social networks, also signing with her other teammates the statement with which they refuse to participate in the team again until they remove him from office.

  1. Beniamino says:

    Per me dovrebbe I will give you resignation suddenly.
    A president of the Spanish Football Federation could not allow himself to do anything of the kind.
    "I dreamed of you Jenni Hermoso":

  2. Luis says:

    Dani, you could have expressed the same thing, but saving yourself the insult, it wasn't necessary. That takes away from your opinion.

  3. Dani says:

    Luis Rubiales is innocent.
    The kiss was consented.
    What happens is that beautiful Jenni is a bitch.
    This is a political persecution, not the defense of feminism.
    If they do this for a kiss, the next time I slap him.
    All with Rubiales.
