The man who leads the Spanish soccer federation took some unwanted attention away from the celebrating players moments after Spain won the Women's World Cup
, the man who leads the country’s national soccer federation took some unwanted attention away from the celebrating players.
In Spain, acting minister for sports and culture Miquel Iceta told public broadcaster RNE “it is unacceptable to kiss a player on the lips to congratulate her.”“It is a form of sexual violence that women suffer on a daily basis, and which has been invisible so far, and which we should not normalize,” Montero said wrote Sunday on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.
After the game, when Hermoso passed along the line of soccer dignitaries to collect her medal, Rubiales put his hands to her head and kissed her on the lips. He also hugged several other players and put his arm around Queen Letizia of Spain. Late Sunday, the Spanish soccer federation released a statement on behalf of Hermoso to try to settle the controversy.
