Pedro Rocha Named Spanish Football Federation President
The Spanish Football Federation: The Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) on Friday named Pedro Rocha as its new president and the successor to Luis Rubiales. The RFEF said Rocha had "received the support of the majority of the assembly members of this institution that directs Spanish football."
The former vice-president replaces Rubiales, who had to step down in the wake of the turmoil caused by his unsolicited kiss of Spain forward, Jenni Hermoso in the celebrations following Spain's triumph in the Women's World Cup final in Australia in August 2023. Rocha's appointment came after he was the only candidate for the elections to the RFEF presidency, and the organization explained his appointment was "based on the calendar that was established for this procedure", reports Xinhua.
However, Rocha's long-term future as the head of Spanish football could be brief, given that he is currently also under an ongoing corruption investigation into the RFEF known as 'Operation Brody.'
