In the end, Luis Rubiales gave up. The president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) has submitted his resignation from his post after the scandal that took place last August 20 at the final of the Women’s World Cup by putting his hands on the genitals in the first box and then with the unconsented kiss to Jenni Hermoso.
After a few weeks of social, political and media harassment, the leader has communicated his decision in a conversation with Pedro Rocha, the interim president of the Federation. Rubiales, who was suspended for 90 days by FIFA, has informed the one who had been designated as his successor and then made it public.

Rubiales, who became president of the RFEF in 2018, has resigned after his five-year term in office marred by several scandals. But none as serious as what he has concluded with his stage. None as serious as this unconsented kiss on Jenni Hermoso.
I will defend my honorability.
I will defend my innocence.
I have faith in the future.

None as serious as these unbecoming acts of a leader breaking protocol in the Sydney market. There, in Australia, he reached his peak as president of the Federation by winning the Women’s World Cup. And there he met his end. End that has certified this Sunday, September 9 at 9:30 p.m.
“I will defend my honor, I will defend my innocence. I have faith in the future. I have faith in the truth”, the ex-leader of the federation wrote on his personal Twitter account to announce his farewell, while giving an interview to the British journalist Piers Morgan.
He flew to London to give an almost two-hour interview where he communicated the keys to this decision that opens a new stage in Spanish football.
