Mariano Rajoy could run for the RFEF presidency RFEF Rubiales will be standing for re-election

Former Spanish prime minister Mariano Rajoy could stand against Luis Rubiales in this year's RFEF presidential elections.

Rajoy's involvement in the race to run Spain's football federation is believed to depend on whether Iker Casillas decides to run against Rubiales or not.

The possibility of Rajoy running for president of the RFEF was first reported my MARCA on Tuesday before it was also reported by Cadena Cope on Wednesday night.

Casillas still hasn't announced he is running for president, although he's held meetings with former players like Carles Puyol and Andres Iniesta in recent days.

In a recent survey, 94 percent of MARCA readers said they would back Casillas over Rubiales if he decided to become a candidate.
