Ex-footballer Romero urges Rubiales to step down over World Cup kiss
Former Spanish footballer Ana Romero called on the head of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), Luis Rubiales, to resign over the kissing incident at the 2023 Women’s World Cup (2023 World Cup). The athlete spoke out Twitter.
“For the sake of your daughters, you must retire. Or you should be fired, Mr. Rubiales, so that it immediately becomes clear that such behavior is not normal, ”said Romero.
Earlier on August 24, the International Football Federation (FIFA) opened a disciplinary case against Rubiales due to an incident at the tournament. The organization stressed that they are committed to respecting the integrity of all people and strongly condemn any action that contradicts this.
At the awards ceremony, Rubiales put a medal on Spanish captain Heniver 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.
