This Friday, in the Football City of Las Rozas, two decisive meetings will be held for the future of ‘Rubialismo’, the continuing group of the former president of the Federation, who retains command of several of his trusted men. Royal Federation Spanish Football. The first meeting will bring together the Commission, consisting of the presidents of the Autonomous and Regional Federations, starting from 11.30 in the morning.
A 12-member Executive
The second one will bring together the RFEF board of directors starting from 13.30. The interim president and successor named by Rubiales, Pedro Rocha of Extremadura, will report on measures to establish the Management Commission following Rubiales’ resignation on Sunday. This Executive will consist of 12 members: six from the Board of Directors and six from the Delegate Commission. And with the election of 12 members, Rocha’s strategy will become clear; because Rocha can continue to bet on continuity by including the heavyweights of ‘Rubialism’ in the Commission: Andreu Camps, Pedro González Segura, Miguel García Caba. ..
Among the presidents who position themselves against Rocha, the figure of Valencian Salvador Gomar, one of the vice presidents whom Rubiales dismissed before the parliament, stands out strongly. Gomar, who recently had a close relationship with Rubiales, has been one of the most aggressive figures in his opposition to Motril.

Before the meeting in which he did not resign, Rubiales asked the Regional Presidents the following question: “Do you trust me?” He did not communicate his decision to remain and was met with skepticism from many and direct opposition from some, such as Gomar. The Valencian was clear and replied to his teammates: “So do you trust me? Well, tell me whether you will resign or not.” He received no response, and the Valencian was one of those who tabled the censorship motion. as one of the alternatives to overthrowing the president.
Gomar is the strongest alternative to direct this Executive and remove Rocha from the presidency of the Federation; but many suspect that he is trying to sustain himself at least until the next election. It depends on the decision of the Sports Administrative Court (TAD). The president of Valencia joined the presidency of the Valencian Federation (FFCV) on 3 December 2018. This is a lawyer and professional manager of sports organizations In November 2022, a report was filed by several former managers of FFCV before the Special Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office of Valencia, alleging embezzlement, lying and abuse. According to the complaint, Gomar ordered FFCV’s finance department to prepare a payroll consisting of 34,000 euros of immediate income, bypassing all prescribed procedures.
One of Gomar’s main assets under his management in the Valencian Federation was the ‘Suma’ programme, which sought to create a women’s space called ‘Valenta’. Something that has tripled the number of women’s football licenses in the community. Golmar has pulled Rubiales’ strings, exploring the possibility of taking over the reins of the Federation to lead elections in 2024, ensuring the departure of all Rubiales’ plumbers.
for him Gomar needs the approval of 15% of parliament. You will be able to submit your candidacy, which will be put to vote within a month, after the guarantees are submitted and approved, and then proceed to the call and voting. The Valencian has already scouted possible contacts and has gathered almost twenty supports he will need to meet the requirements. Additionally, Gomar confirmed: Although he chose not to be seen in the photo, there are council members who want to end the Rubiales era and remove their leaders from important positions. So your candidacy will be welcomed and supported to realize the scenario change. Other names that appeared to be ‘candidates’, Andalusian Pablo Lozano and Madrid-born Paco Díez, did not take a step forward and attention turned to Salvador Gomar as the only solid alternative that could depose Pedro Rocha. presidential seat. Something that doesn’t seem like an easy task in the hallways.
