from that point on, luis rubiales has rarely been far from controversy. t when messages were leaked between mr rubiales and former player gerard pique discussing a deal to play the spanish super cup in saudi arabia. mr rubiales denied those accusations, but that same year he was the subject of two investigations by the spanish newspaper el confidential, accusing him of claiming rent expenses from the federation and of recording compromising calls with government officials. again, he has denied all the allegations. most recently, mr rubiales has drawn criticism for continuing to back the women's national team coachjorge vilda, despite his success on the pitch. mr vilda has been a polarizing figure, with several players claiming his behaviour was damaging their mental health. but luis rubiales has continued to stand by his colleague. jorge... we have been through a lot over this past year. on another level, a smaller one. but they tried to do the same thing to you that they are doing to me now. this latest round surrounding that controversial kiss means mr r

world football's governing body, fifa, has suspended luis rubiales, the president of the spanish footballeration, from all football related activity, national and international for 90 days. and that is pending some disciplinary proceedings that fifa has brought against mr rubiales, which are related to his behaviour. at the end of the women's world cup final last week, when spain beat england in sydney, australia, at the end of that final, mr rubiales grabbed one of the spanish players. jenni hermoso kissed her on the lips and he says that was a consensual act. yeni hermoso has since said that it was not, and this has created a huge backlash against mr rubiales government ministers. senior figures within the sporting world and other public figures have all come out criticising mr rubiales. in many cases calling on him to step down. however, he has refused to do that. he says that the kiss was consensual. he did nothing wrong and he has promised that he intends to stay on as federation president. however, there is pressure on him from the players themselves in the national team. they have

they will basically ask for the removal of luis rubiales. hat get investigated, the removal is automatic, and could happen in a day or two, and after that, there is no comeback from luis will be others. but it is notjust luis rubiales, did you see the pictures of everybody around him clapping every word that he said? the federation is corrupt and needs to change. all these people were clapping because they depend on the money that luis rubiales himself determines where it goes. he has been increasing the budget of the federation massively, and has been giving money around all these guys, mostly men, were clapping because they want to survive and keep getting that money for their federations or their own pockets. so, it is the system. the system that is wrong. find pockets. so, it is the system. the system that is wrong.— pockets. so, it is the system. the system that is wrong. and we were seeinu the system that is wrong. and we were seeing the pictures _ system that is wrong. and we were seeing the pictures you _ system that is wrong. and we w

hearing about this meeting, the extraordinary and urgent meeting to discuss the suspension of luis rubialesis difficult to say, because on one hand it is true that after that awful speech which ruby al said on friday evening people who were in that room making that standing ovation, a few hours later, all of them tried to put distance with luis rubiales and condemning his words and his way of acting. but at the same time, the spanish fa has a very complicated structure as a futpro representative explained earlier on and that structure is ruled by luis rubiales himself during five years, the person who has stepped in after him being disqualified by fifa, the vice president of this complete trust, he appointed him and he wanted him to be in his position in case he was disqualified. it is difficult to say if it will really be strong against what luis rubiales has been doing for the last week or not and especially there are two big questions, what will be happening withjorge vilda, all the players have resigned and also the men's coach because they were doing the standing ovation.— standing ova

while, luis rubiales's speech today was an absolute deplorable display.ning look inside the organisation, and really goes to affirm the various concerns that there have been with the federation, that have come out from the players over the last year, which started with the 15 players who wrote to him, and route to the federation to say that their mental and emotional, mental and physical health were affected by various different events. today, we have seen inside that organisation, and we have seen a man stand up and publicly victim blame. he clearly has issues with understanding consent, and he has really demonstrated the controlling behaviour which those 15 players a year ago were complaining of. and as you are seeing today, it is a very, very dark day for spanish football. and you are starting to see a real swathe of support for the players themselves, against luis rubiales, including male players as well as female players. this is largely started from the women's game, but it is really spreading out an hour, and the pressure is really on, as if it was
