FIFA's Disciplinary Committee has opened disciplinary proceedings against Luis Rubiales, the president of the Spanish FA, following his unsolicited kiss on Women's World Cup winner Je
The incident - which happened as Rubiales was presenting the players with their gold medals- sparked outrage within and outside Spain, with Hermoso saying such acts should"never go unpunished".
"The events may constitute violations of article 13 paragraphs 1 and 2 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code." Rubiales, who initially called his critics"idiots", issued a video apology late on Monday, but it failed to quell the uproar. Spain's women's football league, Liga F, called for Rubiales to be dismissed and said it had lodged a complaint with the president of the National Sports Council over his"very serious actions and behaviour".
