Spanish soccer federation president Luis Rubiales will be provisionally suspended for 90 days, FIFA announced Saturday, after he forcibly kissed Jenni Hermoso at the 2023 Women's World Cup last Sunday. Rubiales won't be allowed to partake in any football-related activities at the national and international levels during his initial suspension, which is still pending a full disciplinary investigation that began Friday.
FIFA also ordered Rubiales and the Spanish soccer federation (RFEF) to not contact — either personally or through a third party — Hermoso.
"FIFA reiterates its absolute commitment to respect the integrity of all persons and therefore condemns with the utmost vigour any behaviour to the contrary," FIFA said in a statement.
