"The FIFA Disciplinary Committee informed Luis Rubiales, President of the Spanish Football Association, today that it is opening disciplinary proceedings against him based on the events that occurred during the final of the Women's World Cup," it said in a statement. Article 13 in the code deals with"offensive behaviour" of players and officials, particularly with"violating the basic rules of decent conduct" and"behaving in a way that brings the sport into disrepute".
Acting Second Deputy Prime Minister Yolanda Diaz called for Rubiales' resignation because"without any doubt attacked a woman".
