The Women’s team refused to represent the country further in a horrific turn of events for the Spanish FA and its members. They are asking for the resignation of Luis Rubiales and the rest of the FA supporting him. Things went out of hand when he kissed Jenni Hermoso on the podium while celebrating the WC victory.

From Rubiales’ mother going on a hunger strike and being hospitalized to refusing to resign, the Rubiales saga has gathered significant controversy. The event has been marked with several high-profile players and teams expressing support for the Spanish team, not the President.


Following FIFA’s decision to remove the man from his presidency, ongoing investigations aim to shed light on the situation. While players have raised concerns about Rubiales’ presence in the sport, some view his actions as a ‘Spanish’ expression of joy during moments of celebration.
