The RFEF said in a statement that the match will be played on “Spanish soil” and is aimed to become a “big football party” between the two strongest teams in the world, following recent events affecting the Brazilian Real Madrid player. Vinicius Junior.
That’s why RFEF, CSD and LaLiga support the ‘Racists quit football’ campaign, which aims to eradicate racist and xenophobic attitudes from football fields, aiming to raise awareness of fans against insulting or discriminatory attitudes for whatever reason.
Now Spain and Brazil with the slogan ‘One skin’ strengthen football ties and social commitments. RFEF president Luis Rubiales met with Brazilian Ambassador to Spain Orlando Leite a few days ago in Ciudad del Fútbol de Las Rozas (Madrid).
Likewise, Rubiales is in frequent contact with CBF president Ednaldo Rodrigues. Both leaders understood that by continuing this friendship, it was a great opportunity to strengthen ties and to shout unanimously against violence in football.

Should the Spanish team have official commitments in that ‘window’ in March 2024, the RFEF has announced that a new place on the calendar will be sought to celebrate this Spain-Brazil friendship against racism.
“The CBF president and I were happy and decided that we needed to build something, that we just don’t regret what happened.“But we also thought we had to work together and play this game between the two best teams in the world.”
For the leader, this friendship “shows the world” the unity of both organizations and their “decisive joint struggle in everything that harms the values of football”. “It’s the ‘best’ game that both the Spanish fans and the many Brazilians among us can enjoy,” he stressed.
“It is a sign to the world that football is about building that they are worth and that is a positive thing and not vice versa.Rubiales added that we are of the same skin and it really doesn’t matter where we come from, insisting that Spain is a hospitable country. to see if it is. “This is a country where everyone comes to have fun, and football is an indispensable part of our culture.”
In this sense, they are dedicating “a lot of resources” to the RFEF and its Regions to develop “educational, training and coexistence plans”, and are also making a “huge investment in social action”.
“The world of footballIt should be present in all problems that arise. And of course, all forms of illiteracy and violence must be eliminated and we will take everything from the federation so that such behavior is erased from the football world.”
For this reason, he reminded once again that the new Sports Law would give them mechanisms to prevent “conflicts of power” with the previous one and allow for “superior regulations” that prevented enforcement. “This will be done and as this regulation becomes more complete it will enable us to act decisively from the outset at the disciplinary level,” he said.
