The RFEF chief could be punished for 'workplace harassment'.
The CSD could now have the power to act after Hermoso confirmed she would be pursuing action against Rubiales in a statement released on Wednesday evening via FUTPRO, a union for female footballers in Spain.
Hermoso’s statement was brief and read: ‘My FUTPRO union, in coordination with my TMJ agency, are taking charge of defending my interests and being the interlocutors on this matter.’ A lengthier statement from FUTPRO expanded on the complaint: ‘From our association we ask the Royal Spanish Football Federation to implement the necessary protocols, ensure the rights of our players are upheld and adopt exemplary measures.‘It is essential that our team is represented by figures who project their values of equality and respect in all areas.
‘It is necessary to continue advancing in the fight for equality, a fight that our players have led with determination, leading us to the position that we find ourselves in today. ‘We also call on the National Sports Council [CSD] so that, within its powers, it actively supports and promotes prevention and intervention in the face of sexual harassment or abuse, machismo and sexism.
