Sarina Wiegman Honors Spain's Team with Coach of the Year Award Dedication
Sarina Wiegman, the head coach of the England women's team, dedicated her UEFA women's coach of the year award to the Spanish women's team, stating that they "deserve to be celebrated and listened to." This comes after the controversial actions of Spanish FA president Luis Rubiales, who kissed player Jenni Hermoso without her consent during the World Cup final. Wiegman expressed her disappointment and called for progress in women's football and society. Spain midfielder Aitana Bonmati also voiced support for Hermoso and denounced power abuse in the workplace. FIFA President Gianna Infantino acknowledged the incident and stated that disciplinary procedures would follow.
