Mr Rubiales has refused to resign from his post after kissing Jenni Hermoso – who has stressed she did not consent – on the lips, prompting FIFA to step in
Spanish FA president Luis Rubiales has been provisionally suspended by FIFA following his conduct at the women’s World Cup final in Sydney last weekend.
It triggered the Spanish government to take Mr Rubiales to a tribunal, and FIFA also opened disciplinary proceedings against him on Thursday . Mr Rubiales will now be suspended from all football-related activities at national and international level in relation to his conduct at the women’s final.Yesterday, Ms Hermoso said that she ‘did not consent’ to the kiss when she collected her medal in a statement released via the players’ trade union, Futpro.
A FIFA statement released this afternoon said: “The chairman of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee, Jorge Ivan Palacio , in use of the powers granted by article 51 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code , has decided today to provisionally suspend Mr. Luis Rubiales from all football-related activities at national and international level.
It is less than a week since Spain’s women reached footballing immortality by beating England 1-0 in the World Cup final in Sydney - but the headlines have instead been dominated by one man.
