Royal Spanish Football Federation

The Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) is the governing body of football in Spain. It organizes national leagues, including La Liga, and manages the Spanish national football teams. The RFEF is currently newsworthy due to two recent developments. First, Spanish police are investigating Islamophobic and xenophobic chants by fans during a pre-World Cup friendly match against Egypt. The RFEF has condemned these chants. Second, the president of the RFEF, Rafael Louzan, has stated that Spain will host the final of the 2030 FIFA World Cup, which Spain is co-hosting with Portugal and Morocco. While FIFA has the final decision, this announcement highlights Spain's prominent role in the upcoming tournament. These events underscore the RFEF's responsibility in addressing racism within Spanish football and its significance in the global football landscape as a major tournament host.
