Spanish women's national football team players confirmed today, Friday, that they will not participate in any matches with the team until the dismissal of football federation president Luis Rubiales following the scandal involving the kiss he gave player Jenni Hermoso on the mouth after Spain's World Cup victory. Rubiales refused to resign earlier on Friday, prompting outrage from the players and government ministers who criticized his actions as unacceptable behavior that discredits women. A total of 56 players, including Hermoso and all 23 members of the World Cup-winning team, signed a joint statement sent through the Professional Footballers' Association in Spain demanding the removal of the federation leadership.
