The former Barcelona player succeeds Montse Tome, who was out of contract after Spain's defeat to England on penalties in the Women's Euro 2025 final last month.
Bermudez moves up to the top job after looking after the Spanish Under-23s.
Tomé took over the role after Spain's Women's World Cup-winning coach Jorge Vilda was sacked in September 2023 for his support of Luis Rubiales over the ex-federation president's forced kiss on player Jenni Hermoso.
Under Tome, the world champions won last year's Nations League before finishing fourth at the Paris Olympics.

Armand Duplantis defies gravity once again; breaks pole vault world record for the 13th time, clears 6.29m
Sweden's Armand Duplantis, also known as Mondo Duplantis, did it again. The man just cannot stop. The 25-year-old double Olympic and world champion broke the men's pole vault record for the 13th time in his career. This is the third time in 2025 itself that he has registered a new world record. Duplatis cleared 6.29m at the Hungarian Grand Prix on Tuesday. He surpassed his own previous record of 6.28m with his second attempt in Budapest. Armand Duplantis of Sweden breaks the pole vault world record for the 13th time in his career. (AP) Duplantis had previously cleared 6.28m at the Stockholm Diamond League in June this year. The athlete from Sweden had first broken the world record in February 2020 as he cleared 6.17m in Poland. At that time, the record was held by France's Renaud Lavillenie. Over the years, Duplantis has come to be known for breaching the record in one-centimetre increments. As soon as he set the world record for the 13th time in his career, Duplantis ran to the crowd to celebrate with his family and partner Desire Inglander. Duplantis will be next competing at the Silesia Diamond League in Poland. At this competition as well, he had broken the world record last year. He is eyeing to become just the second men's athlete after Sergey Bubka to win three successive world outdoor pole vault titles. Bubka, who hails from Ukraine, broke the outdoor world record 17 times and the indoor mark 18 times between 1984 and 1994. At the Paris Olympics 2024, Duplantis had become the first man to retain the Games pole vault title since America's Bob Richards in 1952 and 1956. With Duplantis going past 6.29m, the Swedish athlete has now equalled Sergey Bubka in breaking the world record on most occasions (13). Speaking of the men's pole vault at the Gyulai Istvan Memorial at the Hungarian Grand Prix, Greece's Emmanoiul Karalis finished second with a best attempt of 6.02m, while Australia's Kurtis Marschall claimed third place with an attempt of 5.82m.

England cricketer blocked from promoting OnlyFans in The Hundred
Tymal Mills (Photo by) England fast bowler Tymal Mills has been denied permission by the England and Wales Cricket Board to display his OnlyFans account logo on his bat during The Hundred cricket tournament in August 2025. Mills, who has played 16 T20 internationals and was part of England's 2022 World Cup-winning squad, joined the subscription platform to share content about his life as a professional cricketer. The 33-year-old left-arm fast bowler has not displayed the OnlyFans logo in his two appearances in The Hundred this season. The ECB's decision stems from OnlyFans not aligning with the family-friendly nature of The Hundred tournament. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! When announcing his platform membership, Mills stated: "It's all about sharing my passion with you in a new way." He further emphasized that his channel would give subscribers "a closer, more personal look into life as a professional cricketer." Mills, who holds the record as the leading all-time men's wicket-taker in The Hundred, maintains that the material on his OnlyFans channel is "completely safe." The fast bowler has already made significant contributions in the current tournament, demonstrating his value to the Southern Brave team. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like How Effective Are Non-Surgical Treatments for Aging Skin?

OnlyFans operates as an online platform where content creators can share photos, videos, and live streams that subscribers can access through monthly subscriptions, tips, and pay-per-view options. The platform retains approximately 20% of the fees, with creators receiving the remaining 80%. Poll Should sports leagues allow athletes to promote their personal brands on platforms like OnlyFans? Yes, it's their personal choice. No, it conflicts with the league's image. It depends on the content shared. While OnlyFans is widely known for hosting adult content, it is not exclusively dedicated to such material. The platform supports various content creators across different fields and interests. This situation mirrors a similar case from May 2025, where British canoeist Kurts Adams Rozentals faced suspension from competition. Rozentals, who competes in individual canoe slalom, was suspended by Paddle UK following concerns about his social media posts, forcing him to choose between his Olympic aspirations and his OnlyFans account. Mills is reported to understand the ECB's decision regarding the logo display restriction. The ruling reflects the growing intersection between professional sports, personal branding, and content creation platforms, as athletes explore new ways to connect with their audience and diversify their income streams. The ECB's stance emphasizes their commitment to maintaining The Hundred's family-friendly image, even as professional athletes increasingly engage with various social media and content platforms to build their personal brands and connect with fans in new ways. This development occurs as The Hundred continues its mission to attract new audiences to cricket, particularly families and young fans, while balancing the evolving landscape of professional sports and digital content creation.

Chinnaswamy Stadium set to lose Women's World Cup matches as KSCA under scanner for not getting police clearance
Bengaluru has been dealt a major setback ahead of the Women's World Cup, with the iconic Chinnaswamy Stadium reportedly set to miss out on hosting matches for the marquee ICC tournament starting September 30, 2025. The Karnataka State Cricket Association is under the scanner as the failed to get the police clearance by August 10. An aerial view of M Chinnaswamy Stadium, in Bengaluru, Karnataka.(PTI) According to a report on PTI, the BCCI had directed the KSCA to secure the required clearances by last Saturday, but local police officials confirmed that the process remains incomplete as of August 12. The report further suggested that the Greenfields Stadium in Karyavattom, Thiruvananthapuram, has emerged as a possible alternative venue to host the matches scheduled in Bengaluru. M Chinnaswamy Stadium was originally set to host tournament's opening game featuring India on September 30. It is also the venue for four other matches between England and South Africa (October 3), India and Bangladesh (October 26), the second semifinal on October 30, and the final on November 2. The Karnataka government's tough approach has cast doubt over the city's future as a venue for major events, especially with the T20 World Cup scheduled for early next year and the IPL. The government recently denied permission for the Maharaja Cup, which was subsequently moved to Mysuru. The KSCA had to shift the ongoing Maharajah T20 Trophy to Mysuru even after deciding to conduct it behind closed doors at the Chinnaswamy Stadium. The state body was forced to move the tournament after the one-man D'Cunha Commission deemed the Chinnaswamy Stadium "unsafe" for large-scale events. The state government appointed the commission to inquire into the stampede on June 4 here, in which people died and several others were injured during the Royal Challengers Bengaluru's IPL victory celebrations. According to ICC regulations, the host association must hand over the stadium to the global governing body at least 30 days before the tournament starts, with no other matches allowed during that window. Despite this, the Greenfields Stadium is slated to stage Kerala Cricket League (KCL) fixtures from August 21 to September 7. However, KCA officials remain optimistic that the T20 games can be shifted to an alternate venue if the World Cup fixtures are allotted to them. "We have backup venues, if the World Cup matches are shifted here. But as of now we are waiting for a final confirmation," sources close to the development told PTI.
