The unpopular kiss, which forward Hermoso says was not consensual, sparked outcry, with Rubiales eventually stepping down from his role in September.

Hermoso later filed a legal complaint against Rubiales.

On Monday, world governing body FIFA announced the three-year ban for breaching article 13 of its disciplinary code.

Rubiales has disclosed that he intends to appeal against the ban.
