The Spanish government decided Thursday to create a commission to 'oversee' the country's scandal-hit football federation (RFEF) and try to pull it out of crisis.

Spain's sports authority says it will step in to oversee the Spanish Football Federation after a corruption probe has targeted the current and former federation presidents. The move by the government comes two weeks after an investigating judge expanded a corruption probe that had already led to the arrest of former federation president Luis Rubiales to include his successor.
