Luis Rubiales has been provisionally suspended from all football activity for an initial 90 days by Fifa with the Spanish football federation apologising for the \u2018enormous damage\u2019 caused by his actions.<\/p>\n
The president of the Spanish FA faced widespread criticism after he kissed Jenni Hermoso on the lips following Spain\u2019s World Cup final victory over England.<\/p>\n
Hermoso repeatedly insisted the kiss was not consensual with Rubiales refusing to step down from his position.<\/p>\n
The 46-year-old has now been provisionally suspended for an initial 90 days while Fifa investigates his conduct at last month\u2019s final in Sydney.<\/p>\n
The RFEF have also released a statement, distancing themselves from Rubiales and promising major changes at the top of the organisation. <\/p>\n
A statement from the Spanish federation read: \u2018Those actions do not reflect at all the values of the whole Spanish society, its institutions, its representatives, its athletes and the leaders of Spanish sport.\u2019<\/p>\n
They added: \u2018We are sorry that this incident has disrupted what should have been an ongoing celebration of football both for our national team and that of England\u2019s Lionesses, who were a truly remarkable rival in a thrilling final.\u2019<\/p>\n
