Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF)

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 teams. The RFEF is currently newsworthy due to racist and anti-muslim chants made by some fans during a recent friendly match between Spain and Egypt in Cornellá. These chants, along with jeering during the Egyptian national anthem, have sparked widespread outrage and condemnation, including from Spain's Prime Minister. The incident is significant because it could potentially jeopardize Spain's bid, under the RFEF, to host the final of the 2030 FIFA World Cup, which is a joint bid with Portugal and Morocco. Moroccan officials are already suggesting that the final should be held in Morocco due to the racist incidents in Spain.
