By eliminating the phrase for “women’s soccer” from the name of its national team, the Spanish Football Federation is hoping to show it has made a “conceptual shift” in its view of the sport.
Spain made the move towards greater equality this week as part of an agreement between the governing body and its World Cup winning team, which have been in dispute since former federation president Luis Rubiales kissed player Jenni Hermoso on the lips during the trophy ceremony as Spain was crowned world champion in Australia last month.
European soccer’s governing body, UEFA, has previously held informal discussions about how countries can handle such name issues, but no official proposal has been made. The recent Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand came months after the men’s edition, whose official name is simply the FIFA World Cup.
With Spanish soccer engulfed in crisis, Rubiales eventually stepped down and World Cup-winning coach Jorge Vilda was fired. The reforms were cast as a way to help further professionalize women’s soccer in the country and promote equal pay.
