FIFA Disciplinary Commission President Jorge Ivan Palacio has suspended Spanish Football Federation President Luis Rubiales from office, according to a Spanish sports newspaper. TO.
The manager is prohibited from participating in any activity related to football at the national or international level. The suspension, effective immediately, is extended for an initial period of ninety days or for the period necessary to complete the disciplinary procedure opened by the Disciplinary Commission against Rubiales on 24 August.
FIFA also instructs Rubiales to refrain from contact, directly or through third parties, with the player Jennifer Hermoso, who was kissed by the president of the federation.
The controversy arose after the Women’s World Cup final, which Spain beat England 1-0. When the medals were presented, the President of the Royal Spanish Football Federation kissed the player.
The image of the kiss was quickly shared on social media, with Luis Rubiales first stating that the criticism was “stupid” from “idiots”. A second later, the president of the RFEF made a mistake.
“I clearly made a mistake, I have to admit it. It was the ultimate moment of euphoria, no bad faith, it happened spontaneously,” he said in the video.
This moment was devalued by the football player herself, who said that it was “a natural gesture of affection and gratitude.”
But more recently, after Rubiales denied his resignation and claimed that the kiss was agreed to, Hermoso disowned the president and said that “he will not tolerate his word being questioned.”
This attitude, to which we must add the moment when the president of the RFEF carried an alteta on his shoulders, and another when he touched the genitals a few meters from Queen Letizia, Infanta Sofia and FIFA President Gianni Infantino, caused a storm of emotions. a strong wave of opposition to Rubiales.
Some politicians and athletes demanded the resignation of the president, and even the acting prime minister of Spain called this act “unacceptable”.
