Next steps for Rubiales, Spain, RFEF after World Cup kiss

Luis Rubiales is fighting to remain the president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) despite increasing pressure to resign from various sporting bodies and the government following his behaviour after the Women's World Cup final earlier this month.

Rubiales, 46, finally lost the RFEF's support this week after FIFA provisionally suspended him from all football activity for 90 days. That left a committee of the federation's regional presidents in charge, and on Monday, they called for him to quit.

Criminal proceedings are also underway after his unsolicited kiss of Spain national team star Jenni Hermoso.
