Rubiales Update: FIFA Hands Ex Spain’s FA Boss Three-year Ban From Football Activities 

Disgraced former Spanish football federation president Luis Rubiales has been banned from all football-related activities for three years by world football governing body, Federation of International Football Association (FIFA).

Rubiales kissed forward Jenni Hermoso on the lips following Spain’s Women’s World Cup final win over England’s Three Lionesses which has overshadowed the onfield feat of the team.

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.
