Luis Rubiales faced widespread criticism over his conduct.
Moments after Spain won the Women’s World Cup, the man who leads the country’s national football federation took some attention from the celebrating players by kissing one of them on the lips, apparently without consent.
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 normalise,” Ms Montero said wrote Sunday on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.
The Spain squad was also in near-mutiny last year on a separate issue because of some players’ complaints about the culture under coach Jorge Vilda. In an Instagram video in the dressing room after the incident, the players screamed and laughed while watching the kiss being replayed on a phone.Asked by other players what she was doing, she shouted: “Look at me, look at me,” intimating she could not do much about it.
