After the controversy over the non-consensual kiss to Jenni Hermoso by the top leader of Spanish football (until today), Luis Rubiales, the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) urgently called an extraordinary assembly for today, Friday. The name of the president did not even appear on the agenda, nor did what many consider to be the point of the day: the future of Rubiales in charge of the organization. For this reason, all the clubs and many of the regional federations decided not to participate in this assembly, which some considered a “pantomime”.
However, on the eve of the assembly, Rubiales himself conveyed to the federation his intention to leave office. Fearing disqualification and suspension by the Higher Sports Council which, through the Sports Administrative Tribunal (TAD), the only institution that can dismiss a RFEF president (beyond the federation itself), the The president would have chosen to leave office, seeing himself without support after what a large part of society has considered an improper act. In a turn of events, Rubiales, surrounded by assembly members who did express his clear support for the leader, announced that he was not going to resign.
