Xabi Alonso Expresses Full Support for Spanish Women’s National Team Amidst Changes

Former Real Madrid and Liverpool star Xabi Alonso has publicly voiced his support for the Spanish women’s national team following a series of controversies and changes in the Spanish Football Federation.

The recent turmoil, including the departure of former RFEF President Luis Rubiales, former Manager Jorge Vilda, and RFEF General Secretary Andreu Camps, has led to a significant shake-up within the Spanish women’s football setup.

Alonso, now a coach at Bayer Leverkusen, expressed his backing for La Roja ahead of Bayer Leverkusen’s Europa League tie with BK Hacken in Sweden, where Spain’s women’s team is scheduled to play.

He emphasized the importance of the changes taking place within Spanish women’s football and society, applauding the players for their legitimate fight for equal rights. Alonso acknowledged that there is still an imbalance within the Spanish Football Federation but emphasized the growing importance of women’s football, stating that it benefits both the sport and society.

Alonso’s support for the Spanish women’s team and his call for equality align with the ongoing efforts to address gender disparities and improve conditions for women’s football in Spain.
