FIFA: It looks like finally Spanish Football Federation is going to take some action against President Luis Rubiales who has been in the headlines for all the wrong reasons. His behavior during the FIFA Women’s World Cup trophy ceremony was one of the lowest points in footballing history.
As Spain won the World Cup, Rubiales was the one presenting the medals and kissed Spanish player Jenni Hermoso on the lips during that. The kiss was nonconsensual as even Hermoso stated that she was not comfortable with that.
The president was asked to resign from his position, but he swiftly rejected that notion. Moreover, Rubiales did not even accept his mistake which made it even more low. But now the Spanish Football Federation is taking some steps.
Asked To Resign
The whole Spain female team, players like Broja Iglesias, and many more have come out and stated they won’t play until Rubiales is removed from the association. It looks like the pressure from outside has worked.
Rubiales was already suspended and now the leading officials for RFEF have asked him to permanently resign. They released a collective statement where they termed the act unacceptable behavior.
But it is not easy as the government is too involved in the case. That is why the footballing federation asked UEFA to suspend it from international competitions. Which would mean that no Spanish team would be able to participate in European competitions held by UEFA. This was done so that all the critics of Rubiales could be silenced.
FIFA Investigation
FIFA has launched an investigation into Rubiales’s conduct during the FIFA Women’s World Cup and suspended him till further notice. Rubiales’s mother went on a hunger strike stating that everything being done to his son is inhumane.
FIFA has also ordered Luis Rubiales to not contact Hermoso as the player came out and stated that the federation is pressuring Hermoso to back the President publicly.
