Spanish soccer player Jenni Hermoso has rejected the account of Spanish Soccer official Luis Rubiales regarding an unsolicited post-victory kiss at the 2023 World Cup final. Rubiales, who has faced intense criticism, stated that he will not resign as president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF). Hermoso described Rubiales' version as "categorically false" and stated that she felt vulnerable and disrespected. The Spain women's national team players have announced that they will not play any games unless Rubiales steps down. FIFA has opened a disciplinary case against Rubiales for violating its code of conduct.
