The Spanish federation rejected the players' request for a change in the national team coach. The federation said the situation affected the emotional state of the female players. They want to see changes in their national football team. The players want the coach fired, but they haven't called for his dismissal. Luis Rubiales, the federation president, is known for being a hardliner. He fired the men's national coach Julen Lopetegui before the 2018 World Cup.
