According to information from several Spanish media, Luis Rubiales will resign this Friday from his post as president of the Spanish federation. At the heart of a huge controversy since his forced kiss to Jenni Hermoso on the podium of the Women’s World Cup, he does not want to leave his post. But it seems according to our Iberian colleagues that he has no other choice. The government, the world of football and the league push him to this decision.
Fifa also opened disciplinary proceedings yesterday against the president of the Spanish football federation, Luis Rubiales. “These facts could constitute a violation of paragraphs 1 and 2 of article 13 of the Fifa Disciplinary Code”, specifies the world body, which has remained silent until now while criticism and calls for the resignation multiplied against Rubiales, in the Spanish political world as more broadly in that of football.
Devoted to “discrimination”, the text targeted by Fifa punishes in particular the fact of “undermining the dignity or integrity” of a person “because of their sex” by a suspension “running over at least ten matches , or any other appropriate disciplinary action. Whatever the disciplinary commission of the Zurich-based organization decides, it will therefore not decide on the retention of Luis Rubiales, who will be on the menu for an extraordinary general meeting of the Spanish federation (RFEF) on Friday. During which he should therefore resign.
