Spanish FA boss Rubiales suspended by FIFA

Spanish Football Federation president Luis Rubiales has been provisionally suspended by the world governing body FIFA.

Rubiales has refused to resign after kissing forward Jenni Hermoso on the lips following Spain’s Women’s World Cup final win over England in Sydney.

The federation also says it will take legal action over Hermoso’s “lies”.

Fifa opened disciplinary proceedings against the 46-year-old on Thursday.

Fifa has also ordered Rubiales or any representative of the federation (RFEF) to refrain from attempting to contact Hermoso, 33.
