Vicente del Bosque Appointed to Oversee Spanish Soccer Federation Amid Corruption Scandals

Former national coach takes helm of new committee to supervise RFEF, following a series of high-profile scandals and leadership turmoil.

Vicente del Bosque, celebrated for leading Spain to World Cup and European Championship victories, is named head of a government commission overseeing the RFEF.
The appointment comes after a corruption probe into former and current federation presidents and amid concerns over Spain's soccer reputation.
Del Bosque's leadership is seen as a move to restore credibility to Spanish soccer ahead of the 2030 World Cup, which Spain will co-host.
The Spanish government's intervention includes close monitoring by FIFA and UEFA, reflecting the gravity of the federation's crises.
Previous federation president, Luis Rubiales, was dismissed following an inappropriate incident during the Women’s World Cup awards ceremony.
