Details: The election for the RFEF presidency was won by Galician candidate Rafael Louzán, who secured 37 more votes than his rival, Salvador Gomar, from Valencia.

However, the decision has sparked significant backlash in Spain, as Louzán is facing a potential 7-year prison sentence on charges of tax evasion.
