Jenni Hermoso said the decision to call up players who are boycotting the Spanish women's team was proof that 'nothing has changed' at the country's federation (RFEF) even after the resignation of its president over the Women's World Cup kiss scandal.

Should the players refuse the call-up they could face fines of up 30,000 euros and the suspension of their federation licence for two to 15 years under Spain's Sports Act. Hermoso, who was not called up for the squad, said the players had been "caught by surprise" by the call-ups and were forced to react to "another unfortunate situation caused by the people who continue to make decision within the RFEF".
