Female players in Spain are voicing strong objections against plans to host the women's Supercopa in Saudi Arabia, amid concerns about women's rights in the country. Key players like Patri Guijarro and Alexia Putellas have criticized the move, indicating that such decisions appear driven by economic factors rather than respect for women. The Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) is negotiating to extend its agreement with Saudi Arabia for future Supercopa matches, but players express doubts about participating in a country with known human rights issues.
Taking the Supercopa outside of Spain and to a country that doesn't respect women? I don't see it, said midfielder Patri Guijarro after their semi-final win.
I'm starting to get the feeling that this is only a woman's fight. If we go there, it's obviously for an economic reason, said Alexia Putellas.
