The whole controversy began when RFEF President Luis Rubiales was seen forcefully kissing World Cup champion and Barcelona team member Jenni Hermoso during the medal ceremony. With consistent and spectacular performances under the sheer guidance of coach Jorge Vilda, Spain’s Women made history as they secured their first-ever FIFA World Cup.

As the drama continued, the Spanish FA made their stance clear on Luis Rubiales, who is to resign from the RFEF presidential position. However, Jorge Vilda is still maintaining his innocence surrounding the scandal. Although the situation remains tense, fans are awaiting the final outcome of the controversy. Vilda said, “I’m as well as I can be after being world champions after being renewed and after today being dismissed I think unfairly.”

The Luis Rubiales kissing controversy with Jenni Hermoso has sparked a lot of heat all over the football world. Jenni Hermoso did not personally file any complaint against the former RFEF president but collected numerous objections and protests against him.

Even the Spanish government has decided to take strong actions against such disgusting behavior from Luis Rubiales. They have urged him to resign immediately from his position. They are already searching for potential replacements like, retired La Liga referee, Mateu Lahoz.

The controversy’s fallout has led to increasing concern about the leadership of the Spanish FA and also the safety of young aspiring female footballers in the ever-growing football scene. As of now, the situation remains complex, and a proper final outcome is expected to come out very soon as the football community wants the right measures to be taken against Luis Rubiales.
