In a recent announcement, FIFA has confirmed that the three-year ban on former Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) chief Luis Rubiales has been upheld following his actions after the Women's World Cup final in August. The ban, which was initially imposed in October, was deemed necessary due to Rubiales' behavior, which was deemed 'contrary to the principles enshrined under article 13 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code.'
Rubiales' actions took place after Spain's 1-0 victory over England in Sydney. He kissed forward Jenni Hermoso on the lips, made an inappropriate gesture by grabbing his crotch, and even threw another player over his shoulder. These actions were swiftly condemned by FIFA, leading to the subsequent ban.
