Federación Española de Fútbol

The Federación Española de Fútbol (RFEF) is the governing body of association football in Spain. It organizes national leagues (like La Liga) and the Copa del Rey, and manages the Spanish national football teams. The RFEF is currently newsworthy due to a FIFA disciplinary investigation opened against them following racist chants during a friendly match between Spain and Egypt held in Cornellà. This investigation highlights ongoing concerns about racism within football and the RFEF's responsibility to address and prevent such incidents. The event underscores the challenges of managing fan behavior and maintaining a respectful environment within stadiums, raising questions about the RFEF's preventative measures and potential sanctions.
