The FIFA Disciplinary Committee announced on Thursday, that is opening proceedings against Luis Rubiales, President of the Spanish Football Association, based on the events that occurred during the final of the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023.
The events on the day are said to have violated paragraphs one and two of Article 13 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code.
Rubiales, 45, kissed Spanish player Jenni Hermoso on the lips after she collected her medal, provoking an immediate global reaction.
