FIFA has sentenced Luis Rubiales to three years of banning “any activity related to football” over a controversial kiss between the former president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) and striker Jennifer Hermoso.
The decision is based on a file opened by the Disciplinary Committee of the body that oversees world football. The body said in a statement that the former manager “violated Article 13 of the disciplinary code.” FIFA clarifies that Rubiales has already been notified of the decision and can appeal to the Appeal Committee.
On August 26, the organization suspended Luis Rubiales, preventing him from contacting soccer player Jennifer Hermoso.
The former coach kissed the player on the lips while celebrating Spain’s Women’s World Cup victory following their 1-0 win over England in the final in Sydney on August 20. Before the kiss, he touched his genitals in the middle of the gallery, next to the figures of the Spanish crown. such as Queen Letizia and Infanta Sofia, as well as FIFA President Gianni Infantino.
