FIFA has announced that it has suspended Spanish football federation president Luis Rubiales.
Rubiales kissed Spanish player Jenni Hermoso on the lips following Spain’s Women’s World Cup final win over England in Sydney.
The federation also says it will take legal action over Hermoso’s “lies”.
But Fifa has taken a step further to “provisionally suspend Mr Luis Rubiales from all football-related activities at national and international level”.
“This suspension, which will be effective as of today, is for an initial period of 90 days, pending the disciplinary proceedings,” Fifa added.
Fifa has also ordered Rubiales or any representative of the federation (RFEF) to refrain from attempting to contact Hermoso, 33.
