This federation is something else...

🚨The Spanish FA are calling for UEFA to consider expelling them (yes, that's right) because of 'Spanish government intervention' in the process to remove Rubiales. This request, if granted, would mean all Spanish clubs are excluded from UEFA competitions.https://t.co/49GlomI9VA
