In the midst of all the controversy surrounding Luis Rubiales came the FIFA suspension. Temporarily, the president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) is “suspended” from “all activities related to football at national and international level” for 90 days, a measure that could significantly affect his juicy salary.
And yes, when it was believed that Rubiales would succumb to media pressure after the kiss he gave without consent to player Jenna Hermoso after Spain’s victory at the Women’s World Cup in Sydney, Australia, he announced at a press conference that he would not leave the position she has held office since 2018 and has a large income.
