The president of the Portuguese Professional Football League (LPFP), Pedro Proenza, said this Wednesday that there is a need to “learn the consequences” of the behavior of the president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), Luis Rubiales, in the final of the Spanish championship. women’s world championship.
The official spoke about the case during the presentation of the Sport Integrity Global Alliance (SIGA) certificate in terms of good governance in sports at the LPFP facilities in Oeiras, in connection with Rubiales’ controversial kiss with soccer player Jenny Hermoso.
“When we take on certain roles in our lives, we must fulfill them with the ability to be aware that at certain times we cannot practice certain actions. I think people should be held accountable for what they do. Even in moments of ecstasy, we are not allowed everything,” the leader believes.
At the center of controversy was the event on August 20, when in Sydney, at the end of the game, which became the world champion among the Spanish women’s team, at the time of the awards ceremony, the president of the RFEF kissed Jenny Hermoso on the mouth.
After the events in Sydney, Rubiales received numerous criticisms: the player Jenny Hermoso said that she did not give consent to the kiss, contrary to what the president of the federation guarantees.
After several days of intense criticism from various sectors of society, the RFEF held an extraordinary general assembly on Friday, at which Rubiales was supposed to resign, but who, however, repeatedly guaranteed that he would not resign.
A new peak of struggle and extreme positions followed: the national team players said that they were not ready to return and represent Spain, while the current RFEF leaders remain in their posts.
Rubiales was suspended for 90 days by FIFA on Saturday and 11 members of coach Jorge Vila’s technical team submitted their resignations. For its part, the technician denounced the “improper behavior” of the President of the RFEF, and the Spanish government filed a complaint with the Administrative Court for Sports (TAD).
If the court finds the violations “very serious”, then the Supreme Sports Council will convene an executive committee to initiate the removal of Rubiales.
