Luis Rubiales is set to resign from his position as the president of the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) tomorrow due to the incident involving an unwanted kiss on the Spanish player Jenni Hermoso during the Women's World Cup award ceremony according to EFE Noticias.

Rubiales has been embroiled in controversy over the past couple of days, and despite initial refusal to resign, the pressure has been mounting. The situation escalated further when FIFA opened up a disciplinary investigation against him. With this said, Luis Rubiales resignation is likely just a matter of time.

It's worth noting that various personalities, including Pedro Sanchez, the President of Spain, condemned the behavior of the official. Despite Rubiales apologizing and claiming it was a mutual gesture, the media spotlight continued to focus on the incident.

Jenni Hermoso's response

In response to the controversy, the 33-year-old forward issued a statement through her representatives and a players' union, asserting that these entities will be her intermediaries to advocate for her interests. She also emphasized that the incident should not go unpunished.
