However, unlike England, Spain has dealt with ongoing turmoil with the national team. Last year, 15 Spanish players boycotted the team, citing head coach Jorge Vilda’s mistreatment of players and the negative atmosphere surrounding the team. The Spanish football federation has stood by Vilda and a few of the 15 who boycotted are playing the tournament but other high-profile names such as Mapi Leon, Patri Guijarro and Claudia Pina stayed home.
In group stage play, Spain handled Costa Rica and Zambia with ease. Against Costa Rica, the Spanish pulled away with the 3-0 victory, where they got three goals in a six-minute stretch from Valeria del Campo, Aitana Bonmati and Esther Gonzalez. Spain ran into adversity in their final group-stage game against Japan on July 31, losing 4-0 as the Japanese claimed the top spot in Group C.
