The red and white groups send a message to the RFEF for the Super Cup

Due to the events that took place during the celebration of the Spanish Super Cup, organized in Saudi Arabia, with the harassment of local fans by fans of Majorca during and after his meeting before the real Madridand the words of the president of the RFEF in which he opened the possibility of holding the Women’s Super Cup in that country, various groups of fans of Athletic They took a position on the matter.

For example, the aassociation The 50s and the stone The Colchoneras through their common project ‘Female Athlete’, with the following statement: “Women football fans reject the decision of the Royal Spanish Football Federation to bring the Spanish Women’s Super Cup to Saudi Arabia.

As fans and defenders of women’s football, from “Atleti en feminine”, We express our deep rejection and concern at the decision of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) to move the celebration of the Spanish Women’s Super Cup to Saudi Arabia. We consider that this proposal goes against the values ​​of equality, inclusion and respect for human rights that sport, and women’s football in particular, should promote.

Saudi Arabia is a country where women face systematic restrictions on their rights and freedoms. Despite some recent advances, serious limitations remain in key aspects such as freedom of expression, access to justice and gender equality. The decision to bring a sporting event of this magnitude to a country with a questionable human rights record sends an ambiguous and damaging message to the fight for equality that women’s sports so desperately needs.

Women’s football has become a symbol of struggle and improvement for thousands of women, both in Spain and in the rest of the world. However, in this decision, RFEF seems to prioritize economic interests over ethical principles and fundamental rights. This position is especially disappointing at a historic moment where athletes and fans are demanding more visibility, respect and equality in the field of sports.

We call on the RFEF to reconsider and correct this decision. We urge sports authorities to work towards women’s football being a benchmark for justice and equality, and to choose scenarios that reflect these values. The celebration of international sporting events must be accompanied by a clear commitment to human rights and human dignity.

Furthermore, we invite public opinion, clubs, players and the media to join our petition and demand that the RFEF respect the fundamental principles that should guide sport.

Women’s football deserves more. It deserves to be a space for validation and hope, not a tool to legitimize regimes that attack women’s rights and dignity,” it reads.

Supporters are also on the move Red and whitemade up entirely of women, highlighting that “as fans who are used to traveling with our team, we consider that holding this tournament in a country that does not respect human rights, or consider- regard women as equal to men, there is discrimination, and it must not be repeated, because the safety and dignified treatment of women is not guaranteed.

For all this, iWe urge the RFEF to end the promises made to the Saudi authorities because the safety of its fans is not guaranteed.. Also, we ask the CSD and the Ministry of Equality for their support so that these situations do not happen again.”

Another group, the Blessed Madnessa, points out that “from our Peña we support the statement of the Rojiblancas, expressing solidarity with the fans and families of Mallorca for the treatment they received in Arabia. Not everything is worth money.”
