Despite winning the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup victory, Spain has found itself embroiled in a big controversy. During the post-match ceremony in the final, Spanish federation chief Luis Rubiales was seen kissing player Jenni Hermoso on the lips on the stage. Since then, Rubiales has received plenty of criticism, which he has vehemently denied, arguing that the act was consensual.
But Hermoso, on the other hand, has pointed out that it she didn't give consent and the act was unwanted. For his actions, Rubiales has now been suspended by FIFA on Saturday, from all football-related activities for three months, as it investigates the incident.
In an official statement, FIFA said, "The chairman of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee, Jorge Ivan Palacio (Colombia), in use of the powers granted by article 51 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code (FDC), has decided today to provisionally suspend Mr. Luis Rubiales from all football-related activities at national and international level. This suspension, which will be effective as of today, is for an initial period of 90 days, pending the disciplinary proceedings opened against Mr. Luis Rubiales on Thursday, August 24."
