Jenni Hermoso, world champion with the Spanish team, addressed her union this Wednesday to request sanctions against the president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation, Luís Rubiales, after the kiss on the mouth she received after winning the tournament.
The 33-year-old Mexican Pachuca player did not want to comment on the kiss she received from the RFEF president, at the title celebration in Sydney, Australia, for which she delegated to the union (FUTPRO) and its agency, TMJ, the defense of your interests.
Despite the statements published by the RFEF de Hermoso devaluing the situation experienced on Sunday, this Wednesday those who defend the player took a position, through a statement.
“We are working so that events like the ones we have seen never go unpunished, are sanctioned and the pertinent measures are adopted to protect footballers from actions that we consider unacceptable,” read the note released by the union.
FUTPRO asks the RFEF to “implement the necessary protocols, ensure the rights of the players and adopt exemplary measures”.
“It is essential that our team is represented by figures who represent their values of equality and respect in all areas. It is necessary to advance in the fight for equality, a fight that our players led with determination, leading us to the position in which we We meet today,” he added.
Finally, he addressed the Higher Sports Council (CSD) to “support and actively promote prevention and intervention against sexual harassment or abuse, machismo and sexism.”
Also today, the Professional Women’s Soccer League (Liga F), through a statement, filed a complaint with the CSD, requesting the disqualification of Luis Rubiales, for “dirty and embarrassing conduct.”
“The F League filed a complaint with the president of the Higher Sports Council for the very serious acts and conduct practiced by the president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation, Luis Rubiales, in the context of the women’s World Cup final, requesting his debarment,” the organization wrote.
For his part, the vice president of the RFEF, Rafa del Amo, described the moment as “complicated” as a result of the controversy caused by the kiss of Luis Rubiales to Jenni Hermoso, during the delivery of medals to the world champions.
“I don’t feel like talking about the situation. I’d rather not talk about it. Don’t put me in this garden, because I don’t think it’s the day to talk about it. The president said what he had.” “Let’s let time pass and we have an assembly on Friday. We are going to celebrate for being world champions,” said del Amo, to the media.
