Luis Rubiales (Las Palmas, 1977) lives the most difficult days in his five years as president of the Spanish Football Federation (FEF). The boss of Spanish football is between a rock and a hard place after Pedro Sánchez, acting president of the Government, dropped that the leader must resign after the “unacceptable” kiss to Jenni Hermoso during the celebration of Spain’s victory in the Women’s Soccer World Cup. “Apologies are not enough. He has to continue taking steps to clarify what we all saw,” said the socialist leader hours after receiving the team and seeing their faces with Rubiales, who remained in the background or third place during the reception in Moncloa. “These behaviors show that in our country there is still a long way to go in terms of equality and respect, and in the equalization of rights between women and men,” he added.
The embarrassing attitude of the president of the FEF has shaken the political scene. In the Government, according to IUSPORT, they would be analyzing the feasibility of transferring to the Administrative Court of Sport (TAD) a reasoned brief urging it to open a disciplinary file. If that happened, and the TAD initiates a file, the Higher Sports Council: (CSD) would immediately convene its board of directors to decree the provisional suspension of Rubiales, as was done with Ángel María Villar in December 2017. The leader could be disqualified between 2 and 15 years for his improper conduct, according to the same medium. which cites articles 104 and 108 of the new sports law.
The leader is more cornered than ever despite handling scandals well. This controversy leaves his future in a mystery. The president of the Spanish Football Federation will seek the support of the territorial federations this Friday and avoid resignation. The RFEF assured in a statement that after “the events that occurred” in the final “the federation’s internal proceedings regarding integrity issues are open, as well as the rest of the applicable protocols.”
The man comfortable in conflicts, who knew how to avoid controversy over how he multiplied his annual payroll, spending on corporate cards for a party in a villa in Salobreña, housing aid for the purchase of a luxury penthouse in Madrid or the leaked audios in the mess of the Arabian Super Cup, it seems that his days could be numbered.
