Casillas withdraws from race for president of the Spanish Football Federation

Iker Casillas announced in February this year that he had decided to run in the upcoming elections for the presidency of the Spanish Football Federation. Four months later, he announced that he is leaving the electoral battle, in which he is showing “teeth” Louis Rubiles. The current president has announced his intention to re-elected to that post, which he holds since May 2018.

Porto's goalie still believes that the situation created in the election process, which is already under way since last week, does not help make the process as fair and transparent as he thinks it should be. However, I made myself available to all levels of Spanish sports and football to co-operate in its improvement.

If the Supreme Sports Council approves the date, elections could take place on August 17th, after the assembly was established in the early days of July. The 140 members of the assembly are the ones who decide on the president's name. Casillas says that right now, that the economic and social situation in Spain is deteriorating by the Pandi-19 pandemic, has other priorities for elections in Iberian football. With this movement, the picture is clear. Luis Rubiles will be re-elected, no rivals. Looks like U header model EFA, Ceferin, who was re-elected without rivals, is also spreading to national federations.
