Amanda Gutiérrez, President of FUTPRO, will meet with Second Vice President and Minister of Labor and Social Economy Yolanda Díaz next Monday to discuss the matter.
“From FUTPRO, we express our strong and resounding condemnation of behavior that violates the dignity of women,” the statement read. And he adds: “From our association, we ask the Royal Spanish Football Federation to implement the necessary protocols, guarantee the rights of our players and take exemplary measures. It is essential that our team, the current world champion, is always represented by figures who project values of equality and respect in all areas. It is necessary to continue to make progress in the fight for equality, a fight that our players have fought with determination and has led us to the position we are in today.”
