COPE reports that the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) president Luis Rubiales will resign tomorrow, August 25. The cause is a sexist scandal caused by the act of the 46-year-old functionary.
Recall that during the awards ceremony after the final of the Women's World Cup, Luis Rubiales kissed football player of the Spanish national team Jennifer Hermoso on the mouth without her consent, which caused a storm of criticism.
FIFA opened a disciplinary case against the official, and he himself had hoped for support from regional federations in Spain, but, according to the source, that didn't happen.
According to COPE, Rubiales has already notified his team that he will announce his resignation at the Royal Spanish Football Federation Assembly, which will be held on August 25. Rubiales has been in charge of the RFEF since May 2018.
