Rubiales says he will use Fifa inquiry to prove innocence but government minister says he should not lead Spanish soccer
Rubiales said he would use the Fifa inquiry to show his innocence.
Labour minister Yolanda Diaz is due on Monday to meet representatives of the women’s players’ union FUTPRO, which represented Hermoso, and the Association of Spanish Footballers to ensure football is a sector “that has decent conditions and spaces free of sexist violence”. Hermoso, who has said she did not consent to the kiss and felt “vulnerable and the victim of an aggression”, has been warmly supported by fellow players and many in wider society.
Players from Orlando Pride and San Diego Wave wore wristbands supporting Hermoso during their National Women's Soccer League match in Orlando, Florida, on Friday. Players in Sweden also wore supportive messages on wrist tape on Saturday.
