COPE: Luis Rubiales, head of RFEF, who kissed the football player, will leave his post
The head of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), Luis Rubiales, who kissed a football player after the final of the 2023 Women’s World Cup, will leave his post. This was stated by COPE.
According to the publication, the functionary decided to resign voluntarily after the first calls appeared in Spain to dismiss him. It is reported that he will officially leave RFEF on Friday, August 25, and has already notified his team about this.
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.
