Organisation distances itself from Rubiales over World Cup kissRFEF will assist Fifa in disciplining suspended president
The Spanish football federation (RFEF) has apologised for the “enormous damage” caused by the actions of its suspended president, describing Luis Rubiales’ behaviour as “totally unacceptable” in a statement that sought to distance the federation from actions that had “tarnished our national team, our football and our society”.
Rubiales, 46, has been provisionally barred by Fifa from all football activity after he grabbed the midfielder Jenni Hermoso by the head, pulled her towards him and planted a kiss on her lips after last month’s Women’s World Cup final in Sydney.
