The CSD authorizes the RFEF the electoral advance

The Higher Sports Council (CSD) has authorized the electoral advance requested by Luis Rubiales, president of the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF). The decision has been taken by the Secretary of State, Irene Lozano, after taking into consideration the legal reports of the State Law and the Administrative Court of Sport. The RFEF will call the elections next Monday and the elections will be held just before the European Championship, in the first half of June.

The news has not fallen well in the electoral office of the other candidate, Iker Casillas, who has put a letter via the official record of the CSD in which he requests an interview with Irene Lozano, with whom until now the former captain of the National Team had maintained direct telephone contact. Casillas' last message to Lozano was conclusive: “I would feel very bad if the elections in the Federation are advanced,” which is what has finally happened. Casillas can still choose to move forward with his candidacy or not to present battle to Rubiales.
