FIFA Bans Rubiales From Football-related Activities For Forceful Kissing Spain’s Player

The FIFA Disciplinary Committee has banned Luis Rubiales, the former president of the Spanish Football Association (RFEF), from all football-related activities at national and international levels for three years, having found that he acted in breach of article 13 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code.

This case relates to the events that occurred during the final of the FIFA Women’s World cup. Mr Rubiales has been notified of the terms of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee’s decision yesterday.

In accordance with the relevant provisions of the FIFA Disciplinary Code, he has ten days in which to request a motivated decision, which, if requested, would subsequently be published on legal.FIFA.com.

The decision remains subject to a possible appeal before the FIFA Appeal Committee.
