The referee, who ended his long career, could become a compromise figure after the resignation of Luis Rubiales
Former famous referee Antonio Miguel Mateu Laos running for president Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF).
The candidacy of an ex-referee is a compromise in the discussion of possible candidates. Supporters of former RFEF head Luis Rubiales want to appoint a successor to his policies. Opponents are pushing for significant changes in leadership. In this situation, Mateu Laos satisfies both sides.
Recall that Luis Rubiales resigned in September. The functionary was previously suspended from football activities due to the fact that he kissed football player Jennifer Hermoso on the lips during the award ceremony at the 2023 World Cup. And the official put her colleague Athena del Castillo on his shoulder and carried him across the field.
Mateu Lahoz, 46, worked La Liga matches from 2008 to 2023. His international career includes matches of European Cups, European and World Championships, as well as the Olympic Games in Rio.
Mateu Laos had his last fight as a referee in June 2023. In the final match of Primera 2022/23 with his participation, Mallorca beat Rayo Vallecano (3:0).
