FIFA announced on Monday the former Spanish Football Association had been banned for a breach of article 13 of the FIFA disciplinary code.
Former Spanish Football Association president Luis Rubiales has said he intends to appeal against his three-year ban from all football-related activity imposed by FIFA.
World football’s governing body announced earlier on Monday that Rubiales had been banned for a breach of article 13 of the FIFA disciplinary code.Rubiales confirmed in a statement on social media he will appeal against FIFA’s punishment. FIFA’s statement released earlier on Monday read: “The FIFA disciplinary committee has banned Luis Rubiales, the former president of the Spanish Football Association , from all football-related activities at national and international levels for three years, having found that he acted in breach of article 13 of the FIFA disciplinary code.
Rubiales did apologise for his actions in a video statement a day after, but later in August insisted he would not resign and claimed the kiss was consensual during a speech in front of Spain’s regional federations, clubs, players, coaches and referees in Madrid.
