Spanish Football Association (RFEF) president Luis Rubiales has been provisionally suspended from football-related activities for 90 days by FIFA after he kissed Jenni Hermoso at the World Cup final. The chairman of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee, Jorge Ivan Palacio, has also ordered Rubiales and the RFEF to refrain from contacting Hermoso. The suspension has come into force immediately and Rubiales has three days to write to FIFA to appeal the decision. Rubiales faced calls to quit after kissing striker Jenni Hermoso on the lips and grabbing his crotch in celebration shortly after the final...
A letter signed by 81 Spain Women players, including the entire World Cup-winning squad, stated they would reject call-ups to the national team until the leadership of the Spanish FA is changed and described the actions of Rubiales as “violating the dignity of women”.
“In view of the statements made by the RFEF president, Jennifer Hemoso wants to categorically deny that she consented to the kiss that Luis Rubiales gave her after the World Cup final: ‘I want to clarify that, as seen in the images, at no time did I consent to the kiss that he gave me and of course, in no case did I seek to lift up the president [Rubiales said she did]. I will not tolerate that my word is doubted, much less words that I have not said invented.
