Emergency Meeting of the Spanish Federation Regarding Rubiales' Kiss Scandal

The Spanish Football Federation will hold an emergency meeting tomorrow, Monday, in light of the crisis triggered by its president, Luis Rubiales, who kissed player Jenni Hermoso on the lips during the celebration of the country's victory in the Women's World Cup. As a result, FIFA has decided to suspend him. A spokesperson for the Spanish Federation stated that an "extraordinary and emergency" meeting was called to assess the situation the federation finds itself in following Rubiales' suspension. Rubiales has refused to resign from his position after the incident that occurred last Sunday, stating that "the kiss was consensual." Calls for his departure have intensified, which is also supported by the Spanish government.
