Scandals overshadow Spain’s triumph at the Women’s World Cup in Australia.
The euphoria of Spain’s women’s first-ever World Cup win is marred by controversy off the field.
“Kiss Gate” at the award ceremony
An incident at the award ceremony comes into focus: Association President Luis Rubiales, 46, was caught on video unexpectedly kissing player Jennifer Hermoso, 33, on the mouth after a hug and kiss on the cheek. Hermoso later expressed her dissatisfaction with the moment in an Instagram video. Rubiales has apologized and stressed that he kissed her “spontaneously” and without malicious intent. However, he recognized the need for an apology and promised to learn from the situation.

New controversial video
Another controversial video shows coach Jorge Vilda, 42, seemingly touching his assistant coach Montserrat Tomé, 41, on the chest after beating England 1-0 in the World Cup final. The scene causes heated discussions online. While some criticize the coach, others defend the situation, believing the touch was accidental.
Rubiales holds on to Vilda
Vilda has caused controversy in the past. Some players had accused him of being controlling and resigned from the national team. Despite this, Rubiales remains a strong supporter of Vilda.

political dimension
The incidents have also made waves at the political level. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez called Rubiales’ action “unacceptable” and called for further action to clarify the situation. Rubiales’ future as president of Spanish football federation RFEF remains uncertain, with Sánchez stressing that it is not within the government’s purview. (VOL.AT)
