Former Spanish Football Association president Luis Rubiales – who kissed a player at the Women’s World Cup final – has been banned from all football-related activities for three years, FIFA says.
World football’s governing body found Rubiales had breached FIFA’s disciplinary code after he grabbed player Jennifer Hermoso and kissed her on the lips.
He also grabbed his crotch to celebrate Spain’s 1-0 victory over England and carried Spain player Athenea del Castillo over his shoulder during the post-match celebrations.
Rubiales resigned as the Spanish federation president and a UEFA vice president on 10 September. He was suspended from football on 26 August for 90 days.
Rubiales is still under criminal investigation in Spain. He has denied any wrongdoing.
