Spanish clubs slam federation president over leaked texts

Sevilla, Villarreal and Valencia want an apology from Luis Rubiales, president of the Spanish soccer federation. He allegedly said in leaked text messages that the three clubs are his least favorite. Rubia is leading Spain and Portugal's bid to host the 2030 World Cup. The federation did not respond to a request for comment.  Audios previously released by El Confidencial showed Rubio and Gerard Piqué negotiating details of a lucrative deal to take the Super Cup to Saudi Arabia.
