MADRID, Aug 26 ― Football’s ruling world body Fifa said today it had suspended Spanish federation chief Luis Rubiales from all football-related activities for three months as it investigates an incident in which he kissed player Jenni Hermoso on the lips after Spain’s Women’s World Cup victory.
However, after the Fifa statement, a spokesperson for the Royal Spanish Football Federation said ‘We respect all the pronouncements of Fifa’. The Spain women’s team has also mutinied. In a joint statement sent via their FUTPRO union yesterday evening, all 23 of the cup-winning squad including Hermoso, as well as 32 other squad members, said they would not play internationals while Rubiales remains head of the federation.
‘The RFEF and the President will show each of the lies that are spread either by someone on behalf of the player or, if applicable, by the player herself,’ it said.
