Hermoso has called on the Royal Spanish Football Federation to take action against its president, who kissed her on the lips during Spain's World Cup victory celebrations.
Luis Rubiales sparked outrage when he kissed Jenni Hermoso on the lips while celebrating Spain's World Cup win.
Spanish football player Jenni Hermoso has called on the Royal Spanish Football Federation to take action against its president, Luis Rubiales, after he kissed her on the lips during celebrations of the country's Women's World Cup victory. Later, she seemed to downplay the incident, telling the media: “It was a totally spontaneous mutual gesture because of the immense joy that winning a World Cup brings.”
"From FUTPRO we express our firm and resounding condemnation of conduct that violates the dignity of women,” the statement reads."From our association, we ask the Royal Spanish Football Federation to implement the necessary protocols, ensure the rights of our players and adopt exemplary measures.” Rubiales apologised for the kiss on Monday, after initially brushing it off as “a kiss between two friends celebrating something,” and telling Spanish broadcaster COPE that anyone who saw it differently were “idiots and stupid people.”
