Sweden and Spain players stood together in solidarity before their Women’s Nations League match on Friday in front of a banner translating to “It’s Over” following the scandal which has dominated Spanish football.
Both sets of players held a banner which read in Spanish “Se Acabo” with “Our fight is the global fight” written in English underneath.
The banner was displayed after Spanish FA president Luis Rubiales resigned last week after he kissed player Jenni Hermoso on the lips during the trophy presentation ceremony following last month’s World Cup win.
World Cup-winning boss Jorge Vilda was sacked earlier this month amid the kiss row.
The game against Sweden was Spain’s first since beating England 1-0 in the final in Sydney, with the Spanish players wearing wristbands with “Se Acabo” written on them for the game in Gothenburg.
The Spanish players had threatened a boycott of the game against Sweden but it was only called off after the Spanish FA said it would make “immediate and profound changes” to its structure on Wednesday.
