Patri Guijarro Rejoins Spanish Women's National Team After Two-Year Hiatus

The Barcelona midfielder returns for Euro qualifiers and the Paris Olympics following significant changes within the Spanish Football Federation.

Guijarro last played for Spain in September 2022 before boycotting the national team over disputes with former coach Jorge Vilda and the RFEF.
Her return follows structural changes and the resignation of disgraced RFEF president Luis Rubiales.
Spain has already secured qualification for the European Women's Championship and will use upcoming matches for preparation.
Coach Montse Tomé will reduce the squad from 26 to 18 players for the Olympic Games.
Guijarro's inclusion is seen as a positive step towards healing past rifts within the team.
