The Spanish national team should be worried about the possible exclusion of the World Cup 2018, the AS states with reference to the source in FIFA. In the middle of December, the media reported that the 2010 World Champions could not be allowed to enter the 2018 World Cup because of government interference in football activities. The previous head of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) Angel Maria Villar was previously detained on suspicion of embezzling 45 million euros. Juan Padron was appointed as acting president of the RFEF. July 25, Villar was suspended for a year from work in football. From May to September 2016, he was acting head of UEFA in connection with the suspension of Michel Platini. FIFA sent a letter to the federation, which reminded of the inadmissibility of government intervention in the election of the new president of the organization.
