Majority of Spain's women's soccer team ends boycott after government steps in

ABC  

Most of Spain's World Cup-winning players have ended their boycott of the women's national team, but only after the government intervened to help shape an agreement to make immediate changes at the country's beleaguered soccer federation. It was the latest twist in the crisis that has engulfed Spanish soccer since former federation president Luis Rubiales kissed player Jenni Hermoso on the lips during the awards ceremony following Spain's Women's World Cup title in Australia last month.

Víctor Francos, Spain's Secretary for Sports and president of the Higher Council for Sports, said the "cordial meetings" led to the creation of a committee involving players, the federation and the government.
