Finally, Iker Casillas will not be a rival to Luis Rubiales for the presidency of the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF). "The main reason is the exceptional social, economic and health situation that our country is suffering, this makes the elections take a back seat," the goalkeeper announced through his Instagram account.

The RFEF, which Luis Rubiales has chaired since May 17, 2018, formalized last Wednesday the call for elections to the presidency, which will be held on August 17, if this month is considered skillful by the Higher Sports Council (CSD) for the federal elections; or on September 17, if not.

On February 17, the still Porto goalkeeper announced that he would stand for the Federation elections. "We are working with the utmost respect and decision in our candidacy. More than 23,000 voters await us in fair and transparent elections. 139 assembly members will decide," Casillas summarized at the time, which even added the hashtag # IkerCasillas2020.

Casillas met with Irene Lozano , president of the Higher Sports Council, to convey her intentions to attend the electoral process. Intentions that, according to the player, have come to nothing due to the coronavirus crisis.
