FIFA opened a case against Rubiales, who kissed the player Hermoso
The International Football Federation (FIFA) has opened a disciplinary case against the president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation, Luis Rubiales. It is reported by Reuters.
The reason was that Rubiales kissed Spain captain Heniver Hermoso at the awards ceremony following the team’s victory in the Women’s World Cup. FIFA stressed that they are committed to respecting the integrity of all people and strongly condemn any action that contradicts this.
On August 20, the Spanish national team defeated the team of England with a score of 1: 0. The team won the World Cup for the first time.
At the awards ceremony, Rubiales put a medal on Hermoso and kissed the player on the lips. This drew criticism from the media and Spanish politicians. After the scandal, Rubiales apologized and stated that he did it without malicious intent.
