Chairman Rubiales made this statement while emphasizing active soccer exchanges between Korea and Spain at a press conference held at the Four Seasons Hotel in Jongno-gu, Seoul on the morning of the 2nd.
Chairman Rubiales, who visited Korea at the invitation of 3D Factory, a company specializing in sports metaverse platforms that have an official partnership with RFEF, said, “I have a goal to promote Spanish football to the world and share the development of football.” I will try to make sure that Madrid or FC Barcelona and the Korean soccer team can face each other.”
Rubiales is the president of REFE and the vice-president of the European Football Federation (UEFA), to which football associations from 55 European countries belong. He is regarded as one of the most influential figures in football worldwide.
President Rubiales, who had been a player for a year in Mallorca B team, which belonged to the third division in 1999, was also familiar with Korean players. In particular, he did not hide his extraordinary affection for Lee Kang-in (Mallorca), who plays in Mallorca, where he belongs.
President Rubiales said, “I also played for Mallorca, but I am looking after Korean player Lee Kang-in,” and expressed his wish, “I hope more Korean players like Lee Kang-in advance to Spain.”
Chairman Rubiales also mentioned Hwang Hee-chan, a member of Wolverhampton in the English Premier League. He said, “I know Hwang Hee-chan well because he used to be on the same team as Dani Olmo in the Spanish national team, and I have a special eye on him.”

In addition, he added, “It may seem that Spanish football is being pushed behind by England’s strength now,” but “I want to show the power of Spanish football by winning the right to host the 2030 World Cup.”
President Rubiales also emphasized that true development is achieved only when women’s soccer and youth soccer grow together in addition to men’s soccer.
He said, “Women play a powerful role in Spanish football. If women are in an important position not only in players and coaches, but also in the board of directors within the association,” he raised his voice, saying, “It is more important than anything to make efforts so that women’s football does not lag behind men’s football.”
On the other hand, 3D Factory, a company specializing in the sports metaverse platform, signed an official partner contract with the Royal Spanish Football Federation on the same day and decided to exclusively produce and operate a metaverse using the name of a club belonging to the Royal Spanish Football Federation for the next five years.
