Description

Every Saturday, we revisit a story from the archives. This originally aired on September 11th, 2023. None of the dates, titles, or other references from that time have been changed. 
Spain won a historic victory at the Women’s World Cup, marking the country’s first-ever win. But in the weeks since, there’s been nothing but controversy. On Sunday, that culminated in a highly-publicized resignation from head of the Spanish football federation, Luis Rubiales. Calls for him to resign first started after he gave an unwanted kiss to player Jenni Hermoso at the World Cup. Now, with all eyes on Spanish football, how much further can Spain’s women's football players get to scoring proper treatment?
