government spokesperson, Elizabeth Rodriguez, He considered it “very right” that the king attended Spain’s first World Cup match in Qatar to accompany the team “in the sense of the majority of Spaniards” who have always felt a sense of unity with it.
In a press conference after the Council of Ministers, and after being asked about the presence of Felipe VI in Qatar to support the team, he added that with it the king will “claim the feelings of the Spanish people”.
“There are not many elements that achieve the unity of support and union among the population, like the support for the Spanish team, and it is very right that the king also accompanies them in this feeling of the majority of Spaniards” , indicated the spokesperson .
He added that what the Government expects is that the national team “has a good championship and results, and will be able to celebrate a victory.”
Felipe VI will attend tomorrow Wednesday Spain’s first match against Costa Rica in the World Cup in Qatar, which will be held at the Al Thumaman stadium in Doha.
No minister will travel with the king to that match, but the monarch will be accompanied by the president of the Higher Sports Council, José Manuel Franco.
The forecast is that Franco will also be present in Qatar in other matches played by the Spanish soccer team during the championship.
It is expected, according to the same sources, that the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, will travel to Qatar in the event that the Spanish team reaches the World Cup final.
The president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation, Luis Rubiales, will also arrive this Wednesday with the king cheering on Luis Enrique’s team in their debut in the first round of the championship.
