Fuck the RFEF | Amaiur Sarrigei x Reader

Words: 1.8k Summary: you refuse to play for the national team, risking your playing license, Amaiur disagrees Warnings: angst, !!mentions of SA!!, let’s pretend the girls are on a break in Barca before the call-up and Amaiur went to the wwc Requested by - @realsociadadferminofan

Patri, Cláudia and Mapi were who I always went to when something went wrong. Joining the 3 in abstaining from national team call ups after the 2022 Euros and being one of the 4 that refused a call-up for the world cup due to lack of action toward Jorge Vilda’s misconduct, they were basically my closest friends. Not to say the other girls didn’t mean a lot, I know if they felt like they could, they’d have joined us in refusing. But these 3 were who I had when I felt like crying as I watched my friends and girlfriend win the biggest football tournament in the world.

This also meant I’d go to them with relationship problems.

-

“What do you mean?” Patri had quickly paused the movie she was watching and called Mapi and Cláudia over when I came crying and banging on her door.

“I told her ‘I don’t care about losing my license if it means going against my morals and everything I’ve protested’ and she called me selfish and brainless.” Another sob wracks my body and I fall back into the arms of whoever is next to me.

“Amaiur said that?” it’s Cláudia who asks, tone of voice proving how ludicrous Am’s actions were.

“Verbatim.”

--

“Am! Did you get the email?” I yell across the house for my girlfriend who sits in the living room doing God knows what.

“Sí! Did you?”

“Yeah! What did you say?” my teeth worry at my bottom lip as I wait for her answer.

“I said yes, it’s a national call up. What about you?” I’m not sure what to say as my girlfriend strolls into our bedroom, holding her phone to her face.

She’s clearly re-reading the email we’d all been sent. An email majority of us had signed a statement saying we should not receive if changes were not made, especially after the events at the world cup.

“No.”

“Que? Que quieres decir ‘no'?” (what do you mean ‘no’?) Amaiur gives me a shocked look as I retreat beneath our blankets.

“Nothing has changed Am. How am I supposed to go back? Did you even read the full email? ‘If you refuse this national team call-up, your professional playing license may be revoked in correlation to the Spanish FIFA and RFEF code of conduct.’ They’re forcing me to reject my morals and risk my entire career for some shit call-up.” Angry tears prick at the corner of my eyes. This isn’t fair, how does she find this fair?

“Bebé, they got rid of Rubiales and Jorge, that’s what everyone was fighting for. You, Mapi, Patri and Cláudia, you can come back now.”

“Amaiur how do you not see nothing has fucking changed just because they got rid of two shitty people? Alexia, Ona, they wouldn’t be going if it wasn’t to protect the other girls, especially the younger ones. Esas chicas merecen algo major.” (those girls deserve better).

“So you’re not going? You’re giving up your career for this? You’re being a selfish and brainless cabrona!” (dumbass) the anger quickly melts off her face and regret fills her eyes, but I’m already pulling the sheets off me and heading for the door.

I grab my keys from the bowl that sits on the table beside the door, and leave. Her pleas for me to come back so she can apologise are futile as I walk down the hall. Señor Perez, the old man with many cats, sits at the end of the hall, giving me a pitiful smile that I return before making my way down the stairs.

--

“Ese pedazo de mierda.” (that piece of shit) it’s the first thing Mapi has said all evening, but it makes me laugh.

“No. I mean yes, but I still love her, I don’t think she meant it. We were both just angry.” It’s hard not to defend the girl I’ve loved for so long, but I know I’m right.

She’s always supported my decision to stand up against the RFEF and higher-ups. I just think she expected after Rubiales and Vilda were gone, we’d be playing together again. Admittedly I’d momentarily thought the same, but there was no way I could go back.

“Are you guys going?” the trio give each other guilty looks before turning to me. No one says anything.

“It’s okay if you do. I truly understand, you guys shouldn’t risk your careers for this. You’re being forced into it and that isn’t fair. I’ll support you no matter what.” I place an arm around Patri and grab Cláudia and Mapi’s hands.

“Thank you hermosa. We’re still going to fight this, from the inside.” Mapi says it in a funny voice and sends me a wink and I can’t stop the laugh that escapes.

Not much else can be said before we settle down on the couch to continue whatever movie it is the Patri has playing. Despite me calming down, I didn’t think I was in a state to return to my girlfriend quite yet. The universe seems to disagree.

There’s a loud knocking on the door and a familiar voice rings out from behind it.

“Patri, I know Y/n is in there! I need to talk to her! Please?” I’m standing and opening the door before anyone can reply.

Amaiur doesn’t waist a second in spewing out apologies and wrapping her arms around me. I reciprocate the gesture and begin rocking us back and forth. It’s hard to ignore the stares of our Spanish teammates who sit looking on in the living room.

“I’m so, so sorry, I can’t believe I said that to you. I stand by you, you know that. I’m just so scared for you and your career. You love playing so much and you might lose it all because of this.” I let out a sigh and pull away, resting a hand on her cheek.

“Do you want to know why I’m so willing to risk it all? Why I need this change so bad before I can come back?” she gives a simple shake of her head.

I have to give myself a second, swallowing nervously as I look into her eyes. The warmest, most beautiful eyes. She should know, I’ve hid it for too long.

“When… When we played in the Euros, there was one night where I was feeling bad. You were out with some of the girls, and I was in our room alone. Well around an hour after you left, Vilda came bursting in, obviously we weren’t allowed to lock our doors so there was nothing to stop him. He asked why I wasn’t doing team bonding and I told him I wasn’t feeling well. He came toward me and hugged me like he was going to comfort me, but-” I begin to choke on my words and tears breach my waterline. I can’t bare to look at the girls around me.

Am places a hand softly over my hand that rests on my own arm and I take a deep breath before continuing.

“His hands began to stray. I told him to stop and shoved him away, but he just kept going. He groped my ass and boobs, tried taking my clothes off. He slipped his hand down my shorts.”

“Did he…” Amauri is too scared to finish her sentence.

“He didn’t get that far; someone came knocking on the door and he just left with a sick grin.”

“Did you report him?” Everyone around me looks like they’re about to throw up, but for the most part they look angry.

“I reported him to every higher-up I could. They laughed me off and told me I was being delusional. That is why I can’t go back until there is actual change. Especially after what happened to Jenni and knowing other girls have been through it too. If that means I lose the job I love? So be it. They won’t shut me up.”

“I’m not goin-” Am tries.

“Yes you fucking are. I already told those 3, and I will tell Alexia and Marta and Mariona and whoever else I need to. You have to go, to ensure things change. And to make sure the younger girls are safe.” Cláudia, Patri and Mapi have all disappeared, so it just leaves me and my girlfriend.

“For you. I’ll do anything for you bebé.” I stand on my tippy toes to press a kiss to her lips.

“Thank you.”

~~~~~

4 members of the Spanish Women’s National Team have been released from international duty without sanctions, not including Alexia Putellas who has been allowed to leave due to injury. Is the change we’ve been waiting for, finally coming?

It’s the main headline across all media platforms the morning of the second day of camp. A 7-hour meeting to release 4 players. Fucking ridiculous.

Despite it, a smile tugs at my lips as I sit in bed, the sun filtering through the stained-glass windows of Amaiur and my bedroom back in Donostia-San Sebastian. I wait patiently for my girlfriend to arrive, a cup of coffee on her bedside time while my own rests in my left hand.

“Hola bebé! Is that coffee I smell?” the door slams shut behind Amaiur and her footsteps slowly creep closer to the bedroom.

I place my coffee on my own bedside table and get up, pouncing into her arms when she walks through the open door. She stumbles for a moment before adjusting her grip on my thighs, smiling brightly up at me as I lean down and kiss her hard.

My hands thread through her hair and she turns us around and walks forward to press me against the wall. In a moment of weakness, she squeezes my thigh and I let out a moan, allowing her to slip her tongue past my lips.

Not long after, we have to break apart for air.

“You’d think I’d been missing for months with the way you kiss me.”

“Any amount of time away from you it too long.” I give her a small smile and she pecks my nose, making me giggle.

“Can we cuddle and drink coffee while we watch movies?” I pout at her as puts me back on my two feet.

“Anything for my girl.”

Very soon after, I find myself in her arms on the couch, all curtains drawn shut, warm cups of coffee abandoned on the table, Encanto playing loudly on the TV. Naturally I sing along poorly and quote every line.

“Have you heard from the RFEF about your license?” I smile into her neck at the question.

“I get to keep it. And they gave an apology. Not that it means much still, but we’re getting there.” Amaiur squeals and jumps off the couching, taking me with her. She lifts me up and spins me around before putting me back down, spreading kissing across my face. My heart clenches at her display of love. How can one be so perfect?

ENGLISH TRANSLATION:

The players regret, in the first place, that the RFEF has made public, in a partial and interested way, a private communication, with information that affects our health - which is part of our privacy, sent in response to the request of the own Federation to know which of us wanted not to be summoned. Communication to which, by the way, we have not received a formal response. Secondly, in no case have we RESIGNED the Spanish Soccer Team as the RFEF points out in its official statement. As we said in our private communication, we have maintained, continue to maintain and will continue to maintain an unquestionable commitment to the Spanish National Team. That is why we request in our communication sent to the RFEF not to be summoned until situations that affect our emotional and personal state, our performance and, consequently, the results of the Selection and that could derive in undesirable injuries. These would be the reasons that lead us to make this decision. We want a firm commitment to a professional project in which all aspects are taken care of to get the best performance from a group of players with whom we believe that more and better goals can be achieved. We wish the best for the RFEF, for the Women's National Team and for us in particular, without entering into public wars. We have never asked for the dismissal of the coach as has been commented. We understand that our work is not in any case to choose said position, but to express constructively and honestly what we consider can improve the performance of the group. Can anyone think that, eight months before a World Cup, a group of TOP-LEVEL PLAYERS, which is what we consider ourselves, consider this decision, as has been publicly understood, as a whim or blackmail? Requesting not to be summoned, we penalize our professional career, our economy and of course continue building something important in women's football. Because getting to where we are right now has taken years of effort from many people. And there are still many things to improve as it is being demonstrated recently. From our ambition as players, fighters and winners, we just want to be able to achieve maximum professional and personal success again. Last but not least, we will not tolerate the infantilizing tone with which the RFEF concludes its statement. We regret that in the context of women's sport we have to go to this extreme, as unfortunately has happened in other national teams and other sports historically worldwide, in order to advance in a powerful and ambitious professional project for the present and for future generations.

Loan - Amaiur Sarriegi x reader

Request: For amaiur sarriegi one say barcelona sent reader out on loan to real sociadad and amaiur sarriegi and reader are together till she turns up for real sociadad training on first day and then amaiur ran up to and kisses her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You walk over to the water bottles and grab both yours and Pina’s bottles. The slightly older girl thanks you and Jonatan asks to see you after training. You instantly freak out as you try to remember everything you’ve done and you can’t seem to remember breaking any rules. You continue your training session and keep being distracted about what the meeting with Jonatan could be about. You get knocked out of you day dream by a ball hitting the side of your head and you glare at Jana.

After training, Jonatan nods you over and you follow him into one of the offices. You notice there’s a few other important looking people in the office and you immediately become scared. Over the course of the meeting you get told that you are going out on a loan to Real Sociedad for a year, maybe more. They remind you that it’s nothing personal and they just want to explore the different squad types.

You walk back out to the girls who are stretching and they all see you visibly upset. Your close friends that have been your family for many years come over quickly and they know something is wrong. Jonatan starts speaking and shares that you are leaving the club on a loan for a season or more. Your close friends all tear up and tears run down their faces, claiming it was sweat from training but you knew the truth. In the locker room, Alexia calls all the girls together and says they are having a team dinner since you are leaving in a few days.  

Later that evening, you make it through the dinner and all the girls share their favourite memories with you and you couldn’t ask for better best friends. You get back to your apartment and thankfully you don’t have too much to pack. You send a text in your Barca group chats to ask everyone not to tell Amaiur that you’re moving there. You get a text from your manager saying when your flight is and all that. You see it’s in a few hours so you finish putting your clothes and other personal items in your suitcases before calling an uber. 

You arrive at the airport and Amaiur keeps calling you but you decline. Around an hour and a bit later, you find yourself waiting for your suitcases. You call an Uber to Amaiur’s house and realise you don’t have a key. You think of where your girlfriend would hide a key and start looking under all the flower pots or unusually shaped rocks. 

“And what do you think you’re doing?” You jump at the voice and turn around to see your girlfriend with an amused look on her face. She walked forward and hugged you tight, you doing the same. The both of you pull back and kiss each other passionately.

“Let’s go inside yeah?” You nod and she takes your bags inside. 

Amaiur goes upstairs and puts your bags in her room and you remember you have to tell her your news. 

“What brings you here mi amor? Not that I’m complaining” Amaiur asks as she sits next to you on the couch.

“I uh, have some news. But when I tell you, you can’t be mad because I only knew a day ago and I-” You feel familiar lips on yours and those soft hands on the side of your face.

“Princesa, calm down. Now what’s your news?” Amaiur holds your hands and has a soft smile on her face.

“I got loaned out” Amaiur’s face drops, thinking you’re going to another country.

“I got loaned out to your team” That beautiful smile is back on her face and it makes you smile too.

“That’s amazing news bebe, oh my god” Amaiur pounces on you. The both of you laugh as you fall off the couch, with Amaiur on top of you and only millimetres.

“Move in with me?” She whispers.

“Nothing would make me happier”

In light of the recent news regarding the formal call-up of the Spanish players for the upcoming Nations League qualifiers, I thought I would make a dedicated blog post for anyone confused:

(all my sources are at the bottom of the post)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

What Happened?

On September 15 2023, Alexia Putellas posted the first official letter containing signatures from 23 world champions players 39 additional players. The letter outlines their refusal for a national team call-up as well as demands including the resignation of the current president of the RFEF, and a restructuring of the organisational chart of women’s football. Soon after, many of the players took to social media to post the same formal statement.

Their statement reads:

"The players of the Absolute National Team, recent world champions, as well as their teammates, wish to express, as they did on August 25, 2023, their enormous discontent after the events that occurred at the medal ceremony at the Women’s World Cup, and the subsequent extraordinary assembly of the Royal Spanish Football Federation’.

It continued: ‘The events that unfortunately everyone has been able to see are not something specific and go beyond sports. In the face of these acts we must have zero tolerance, for our partner, for us and for all women’.

‘Several weeks after what happened, we want to make public the holding of various meetings with the RFEF in which the changes that we understand are basic to be able to move forward and have been expressed clearly and forcefully by the staff reached a structure that does not tolerate or take part in such degrading events’"

Today, September 18 2023, the Official Twitter Account for Spain's Women's National Football Team posted a video of the players that are due to represent Spain in the Nations League qualifiers against Sweden. Among them were Alexia Putellas, Irene Paredes, Mapi Leon, Patri Guijarro, Amaiur Sarriegi, and Lucía García– all of which had signed the formal statement refusing a call up.

Can the players just not turn up?

Yes and No.

It is said that rejecting the call-up is a punishable offence as it is viewed as a very serious infraction by Spain’s National Sports Law (see Article 104 (1)(c)

-- Article 104. Very serious infractions

For the purposes of this law, the following are considered very serious infractions:

a) The violation of sanctions imposed for serious or very serious infractions.

b) Actions aimed at predetermining, through money, intimidation or simple agreements, the result of a test or competition, whether or not it affects the result, and, in general, actions that involve an attempt to alter the normal development of a competition or sporting activity.

c) The unjustified lack of attendance at the calls of the national sports teams, as well as players who have been designated to be part of the national teams that fail to make themselves available.

This means refusing a call up is punishable by law.

What Are The Punishments?

Article 108 of the Sports Law details what the consequences would be in the case of a very serious infractions offence.

-- Article 108. Sanctions for the commission of very serious infractions.

For the commission of very serious infractions classified in article 104.1, the following sanctions may be imposed, in appropriate proportion to the infraction committed:

a) Financial fine, not less than €3,000.01 nor more than €30,000 .

b) Loss of points or positions in the classification.

c) Loss or demotion in category or division.

d) Sports event or competition to be played behind closed doors.

e) Prohibition of access to stadiums or places where tests or competitions are held for a period of no more than five years.

f) Definitive loss of the rights that, as a partner or member of the respective society, association or sports entity, correspond to you.

g) Closure of the sports venue for a period between four games/meetings and a complete season.

h) Disqualification from holding positions in the sports entity for a period between two and fifteen years, in appropriate proportion to the infraction committed.

i) Suspension of federal license or equivalent temporary qualification for a period between two and fifteen years.

What Happens Now? We'll just have to wait and see what the players decide to do. But there's never been a time to show your support for these players more than now.

A lot has changed for Spain they say. Then you see this

If you can't see it its the shirt they made to celebrate their UWNL win. It has Amaiur Sarriegi who was never called up since the las 15 scandal.

Shameful.

[diarioelpepazo]

Y por fin... fútbol. La Liga F arranca una semana tarde tras una huelga de jugadoras y 117 días después del último partido en el campeonato doméstico DAVID MENAYO "Hay ganas de hablar de fútbol, de partidos, de estrategias, de tácticas... de lo que al final nos más nos gusta y mejor sabemos hacer que es jugar al fútbol". Las palabras de Amaiur Sarriegi, referente de la Real Sociedad, muestra el sentir de un colectivo que se vio obligado a parar para forzar un esfuerzo económico por parte de la patronal de la Liga F que firmó el miércoles un acuerdo con los sindicatos para fijar un aumento en el salario mínimo (21.000 euros para esta temporada), desbloquear un nuevo parón, dar pie a una nueva negociación y dar el pistoletazo de salida a una nueva edición del campeonato doméstico, la trigésimosexta. "Hay que seguir dando pasos y tenemos que ir acorde al crecimiento de la propia Liga. Que se haya firmado (un preacuerdo) es algo positivo para que podamos, por fin, jugar", añade la ariete blanquiazul. Han pasado 26 días desde que España ganara el Mundial (último partido femenino de élite), 111 días desde la final de la Copa de la Reina (último partido en territorio nacional) y 117 días desde la última jornada del curso pasado (último partido de Liga). El mercado de verano en la Liga F se resolvió con 331 movimientos (93 fichajes, 128 bajas y 110 renovaciones) siendo el Betis (9) el equipo que más incorporaciones ha sumado a su plantilla. El Barcelona, que ha incorporado a Ona Batlle (Manchester United) y Esmee Brugts (PSV) -tras desprenderse de Emma Ramírez, Nuria Rábano, Geyse Ferreira y Ana Maria Crnogorcevic-, defiende corona y buscará ser el primer equipo que logra cinco títulos de Liga de manera consecutiva. Jornada 2 de la Liga F: Valencia-Real Madrid (Viernes, 21:00) Eibar-Levante Las Planas (Sábado, 12:00) Atlético de Madrid-Athletic Club (Sábado, 12:00) Betis-Villarreal (Sábado, 17:00) Madrid CFF-Barcelona (Sábado, 19:00) UDG Tenerife-Sporting de Huelva (Domingo, 12:00) Granada-Real Sociedad (Domingo, 19:00) Levante-Sevilla (Domingo, 21:00) La nueva temporada arrancará este viernes (21:00 horas, Dazn) con el duelo que enfrenta a Valencia y Real Madrid en el Antonio Puchades. El partido será dirigido por Olatz Rivera, elegida por el CTA como mejor árbitra del curso pasado y una de las 18 integrantes del equipo arbitral de esta temporada. Como ya ocurriera la temporada pasada, todos los partidos serán televisados por Dazn, plataforma a la que hay que sumar un partido en abierto cada jornada que dará GolTV. Con el naming de la competición libre -tras romper con Finetwork, cuyo acuerdo está judicializado- y con Puma, Panini y EA Sports como únicos patrocinadores de la competición, la Liga espera seguir creciendo esta temporada tanto dentro como fuera de los terrenos de juego. "Creemos que el clima de paz y estabilidad nos va a permitir una llegada más fácil a los patrocinadores. Hago un llamamiento a todas esas marcas que quieran apoyar al fútbol femenino, que ahora tiene un Convenio tan importante, que ojalá se sumen al proyecto", destaca Beatriz Álvarez, presidenta de la Liga F.

No las merecemos... Mapi León, Sandra Paños, Laia Alexandri, Patri Guijarro, Claudia Pina, Lola Gallardo, Ainhoa Moraza, Nerea Eizagirre y Amaiur Sarriegi no están en este Mundial. Se mantuvieron firmes y se han sacrificado por defender su dignidad. Honor también para ellas... Era el 2019, las jugadoras se pusieron en huelga para exigir un convenio profesional. Pedían salario mínimo de 16.000€, que las siguieran pagando si se lesionaban y baja por maternidad. La patronal dijo que el fútbol femenino no era rentable... las futbolistas paralizaron con una huelga el fútbol femenino. Lograron un convenio colectivo con salario mínimo de 16.000€, poder quedarse embarazadas sin que las echaran, tener derecho a vacaciones, paro y prestación en caso de lesión... 4 años después son campeonas del mundo... que la Federación filtrase que se había ganado a las jugadoras rebeldes a base de permitirles caprichitos, ya entra de lleno en lo patético... Más de una evidencia y algunos hechos permitirían discutir legítimamente si se ha jugado esta final a pesar del seleccionador... si se ha jugado y ganado, ha sido por méritos de las jugadoras... no porque un hombre, muy incomprendido por ellas mismas, las haya guiado hasta ser “campeones del mundo”... debería caérsenos la cara de vergüenza a todos
