The FIFA Disciplinary Committee has banned the former president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) from any football-related activities for 3 years.
This penalty is related to an episode in the women's 2023, after the World Cup final. At that time, Rubiales hugged and kissed Jennifer Hermoso, a player on the Spanish national team, on the lips.
After massive criticism, Rubiales announced his resignation as president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF).
