Jenni Hermoso has confirmed she did not consent to be kissed by Spanish football federation president Luis Rubiales, as 56 Spain players confirm they will not play for the national team until he is removed from his post.
“I want to clarify that at no time did I consent to the kiss. I don’t tolerate that my word is questioned, much less that words are invented that I haven’t said, Hermoso said”
The FA president, Rubiales has refused to resign after kissing forward Hermoso following Spain’s Women’s World Cup final win over England.
The Spanish government started legal proceedings seeking to suspend the 46-year-old, while FIFA has also launched disciplinary proceedings.
