Luis Rubiales has been provisionally suspended by FIFA following the Spanish Football Federation president's conduct at the women's World Cup final in Sydney.

The body's disciplinary judges can impose sanctions on individuals ranging from warnings and fines to suspensions from the sport.

FIFA's suspension should prevent Rubiales from working in football or having contact with other officials. Palacio is a Colombian lawyer and former member of its constitutional court who has worked in women's rights.Spain federation vice-president Rafael del Amo, who had been in charge of women's football, resigned. Four assistant coaches for Spain's senior team, plus two coaches of the women's youth teams, and five other staff members for the senior and youth women's teams also resigned on Saturday.

Political parties from both the left and right in Spain said Rubiales was unfit to continue in his post. Iberia airlines and other sponsors for the federation said they were with the government as well.Rubiales has also refused to heed calls to resign, leading the national team to mutiny and the government to denounce his "macho actions".

In the same statement, Hermoso denied Rubiales' contention that the kiss he gave her at the medal ceremony after Spain beat England 1-0 in the final in Sydney, Australia, was consensual.
