King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia gathered today in the Palace of El Pardo many of the most important authorities in Spain and that represent the country throughout the world as honorary ambassadors of the Spain Brand. Among them was Luis Rubiales and Javier Tebas, So today a new image has been lived with the president of the RFEF and LaLiga together although, presumably, not scrambled since their relations are still very tense.

There has been the first protocol greeting of the Kings.
It has been in the courtyard of El Pardo where the Kings have talked with the ambassadors about the important role they play in the defense and promotion of the image of Spain in the world.
