"Spain's Women's World Cup Controversy: Coach Under Fire Despite Reaching Final"
Spain's women's national team has reached the final of the Women's World Cup, but their journey has been marred by controversy. In September 2022, 15 players sent emails to the Royal Spanish Football Federation, citing a lack of professionalism and demanding better support. Instead of addressing their concerns, the federation backed coach Jorge Vilda and criticized the protesting players. While some progress has been made in discussions, three players have not changed their stance. The protest and its limited resolution continue to hang over Spain's World Cup run, raising questions about the support the players received and what they could have achieved with better backing.
