The president of the RFEF invites the Spanish Government to work together with Spanish football: ‘We must work hand in hand’.
Rafael Louzán held a working meeting on Monday with the president of the Consejo Superior de Deportes during which he called for ‘collaboration, understanding and loyalty’ between the two bodies.
In an atmosphere of mutual cordiality between the attendees, this Monday the headquarters of the Consejo Superior de Deportes hosted the first meeting between the presidents of the RFEF and the CSD since the election last December of Rafael Louzán as the head of Spanish football’s governing body.
During the working meeting, the RFEF president invited the Secretary of State for Sport, José Manuel Rodríguez Uribes, to ensure that the Spanish Government joins the main stakeholders in Spanish football in the current climate of positivity at the federation. Reinforcing the commitment to the consensus that has characterised the management of the beautiful game in our country with Rafael Louzán at the helm, in continuous harmony with LaLiga, Liga F and the Spanish Footballers' Association, among many other interested parties.
For the president of the RFEF, it is of vital importance that ‘in Spain we cannot each go our own way. We must walk in step together with loyal and permanent collaboration because the path of football is something living and represents a great international brand for our country’.
Furthermore, Rafael Louzán proposed to the president of the CSD to carry out a joint working agenda in the face of the enormous challenges presented by the hosting of the 2030 World Cup. The organisational role for the event corresponds to FIFA and the national federations of the bid, but in which the Spanish Government can also participate. Something the president of the RFEF emphasised, beyond its mere administrative competences, also requesting ‘the involvement of the host cities in this whole process’.
The Spanish Government's collaboration in the candidacy of Madrid's Metropolitano stadium for the Champions League final in 2027 or its help in the organisation of this year's UEFA Europa League final in Bilbao were other requests made by the RFEF president during this Monday's meeting, as well as the issue of the allocation of resources needed to continue promoting women's football in our country.
In short, a meeting that the RFEF president described as ‘very positive and aimed at looking to the future’, also calling for a further meeting soon between the parties to continue working hand in hand in favour of Spanish football.
