Sweden's women's team will support their Spain counterparts if they decide to boycott their Nations League fixture this week, midfielder Filippa Angeldahl said on Tuesday.
The boycott came after Spanish football federation President Luis Rubiales, who has since resigned, kissed player Jenni Hermoso on the lips during the World Cup trophy presentation ceremony in Australia.
Speaking about the possibility of Spain boycotting the match, Angeldahl told reporters: "It is a very difficult situation. "If they feel they have to stage a boycott so that something gets done, obviously we will support them ... I don't think anyone wants to go through something like this. I think that mentally it takes a lot out of them."
