President of the Royal Spanish Football Federation Luis Rubiales is set to resign after facing intense scrutiny in the days following the Women’s World Cup final where he planted an unwanted kiss on a player.
Rubiales attracted further attention when vision showed him grab his crotch in celebrations while standing next to Spain’s Queen Letizia and her 16-year-old daughter Infanta Sofia.
"The FIFA Disciplinary Committee will only provide further information on these disciplinary proceedings once it has issued a final decision on the matter. Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti said he thought the kiss was “not the behaviour of a president of the federation” while Real Sociedad president Jokin Aperribay said “what he has to do is present his resignation.”
