Jenni Hermoso was honoured in Mexico by her club, Pachuca, on her return following Spain’s World Cup victory. Prior to the match, players from both teams made a walkway for Hermoso, who received recognition in the centre of the field from club officials. A huge banner celebrating the world title was also unfurled in the Hidalgo stadium.
The celebrations came just hours after the former president of the Spanish football federation, Luis Rubiales, resigned from his post three weeks after forcibly kissing Hermoso during the World Cup medal ceremony in Sydney. ‘It’s a shame because she should have been talking about Spain being world champions and not this issue,’ said one Pachuca fan showing her support outside the ground.
