Antonio Mateu Lahoz, retired La Liga referee, is potentially the next president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation. The officials have seen Mateu as the replacement in the events if Luis Rubiales resigns or is imprisoned.

Meanwhile, reports suggest that RFEF sees Mateu Lahoz as the perfect man to step up for the role of net President and carry forward Spanish football. Known for his card-heavy officiating is no alien to the sport. His knowledge and experience extend to many domestic and international platforms that can be expected to reform the Spanish football scene.

But for now, the situation remains tense. The fans eagerly await the Spanish FA officials to appoint the next President. While also asking for Rubiales to be put behind bars.
