Spanish Football Association (RFEF) president Ángel María Villar has been summoned to testify in court as part of a lawsuit brought by Seyer Gestión S. L. (a sports marketing and consulting firm engaged to promote women's football in Spain) for breach of contract, the preliminary hearing for which was held on 6th October.

The judge overseeing the proceedings has issued a subpoena so that the 65-year-old, who has been at the helm of the RFEF for over 27 years, may be interrogated as to why the Spanish FA ignored a 6.6-million euro offer submitted by CGP SPORT to sponsor women's football competitions in Spain for six seasons.

Villar requested that he be made privy to the details of the bid and is deemed personally responsible for the RFEF's failure to take the matter any further, to the detriment of women's football in Spain.
