Fifa has moved and taken its responsibilities, but we had not yet heard from President Infatino on the case of the forced kiss at the end of the Women’s World Cup final. It’s done. Recall that the president of the Spanish federation Luis Rubiales forcibly kissed the Spanish international Jenni Hermoso on the occasion of the presentation of the trophy after Spain’s victory in the final on August 20. “Unfortunately, the well-deserved celebrations of these magnificent champions were marred by what happened after the final whistle. And what continued to happen the following days. This should never have happened. But it happened and the disciplinary bodies of Fifa immediately assumed their responsibilities and took the necessary measures. The disciplinary procedure will continue its legitimate course”, indicated Gianni Infatino this Thursday evening, on Instagram.
And to continue: “From our side, we must continue to focus on how to support women and women’s football more in the future, both on and off the pitch. Uphold true values and respect the players as people and for their fantastic performances.” Faced with the planetary scandal, Rubiales was suspended from his duties by Fifa.
