The chairman of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee, Jorge Ivan Palacio, has decided to suspend the president of the Spanish Football Federation, Luis Rubiales, from all football-related activities at the national and international levels for 90 days. This decision is due to the fact that a man kissed football player Jennifer Hermoso on the football field. Rubiales is also forbidden to communicate with the athlete, even through third parties.

The decision taken by the Chairman of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee was today submitted to Mr. Luis Rubiales, RFEF and UEFA for due execution. The FIFA Disciplinary Committee will not provide any further information on these disciplinary proceedings until a final decision has been made .

On August 20, Rubiales kissed the football player, the captain of the national team, on the lips at the awards ceremony after winning the World Cup. He allowed himself this gesture after he put a medal on the athlete. Activists and the media criticized Rubiales for frivolous behavior, and Spanish Minister of Culture and Sports Mikel Iceta demanded an official apology from the head of RFEF.
