The Spanish Administrative Court for Sport opened disciplinary proceedings this Friday against the President of the Spanish Football Federation for serious violations in the final of the Women’s World Cup, when Luis Rubiales kissed Jenny Hermoso on the lips.
The decision of the Administrative Court of Sports (TAD) follows a complaint from the Spanish government through the Higher Council of Sports that condemned Luis Rubiales’ kiss with soccer player Jenny Hermoso and the behavior of the president of the federation in the stands of a stadium in Sydney when he touched his own genitals to celebrate Spain’s victory in the World Cup final. .
