MADRID (Reuters) – The Spanish government welcomed on Tuesday the soccer federation’s restructuring plan after the furore unleashed over its president’s kiss on a women’s national team player and vowed to end any discrimination against women in sports.
“It’s over, no more discrimination for women,” acting Sports Minister Miquel Iceta told a news conference in Madrid. “We are witnessing a real social and sporting backlash.”
