• The Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) is facing a possible intervention from FIFA due to several arrests for corruption, disloyal administration, and money laundering.
• The RFEF's former president, Luis Rubiales, is under investigation, following a series of alleged offenses during his administration and his successor, Pedro Rocha, is also under scrutiny.
• The RFEF, despite being a private entity, plays a crucial and public role in managing Spanish soccer, hence, governments should be more vigilant.
• FIFA's intervention would be discrediting for Spain, which will host the World Cup in 2030, but would allow cleaner elections and bring about the regeneration of the RFEF.

Conclusion: There is a clear need for a decisive intervention to overcome these recurring corruption problems in the RFEF and ensure the credibility of Spanish football.
