Mapi Leon and Patri Guijarro did not play a part in Spain’s World Cup campaign and are departing before their Nations League games.
SPAIN PLAYERS MAPI Leon and Patri Guijarro said they were leaving the women’s national team training camp on Wednesday, despite a deal with the Spanish government and the football federation to satisfy the squad’s demands.
Leon and Guijarro were among 15 players who went on strike before the World Cup in protest at the methods of then national coach Jorge Vilda and other issues with the federation. “We are content because the truth is that changes are being made, and in this we are giving full support to our team-mates.”
After three weeks of backlash, including a new strike by over 80 players, the president eventually resigned, while controversial coach Vilda was sacked.
