Fifa suspends Spanish football president
The world football governing body Fifa suspended Luis Rubiales from his position as the president of the Spanish football governing body for kissing the country's soccer player.
Fifa banned Mr. Rubiales from participating in national and international football.
Jenni Hermoso's kiss with Rubiales on her lips after Spain beat England in the final of the World Cup caused a lot of controversy in the sports world.
When the calls were received, he stepped down from his post after kissing Hermoso.
However, he refused to resign, saying that he did it out of joy, so he did not take it as anything.
On Thursday, Fifa opened an official investigation into the 46-year-old Mr. Rubiales.
From the beginning, he kept his face during the celebration of the end of the game.
Rubiales apologized on Monday for kissing the player before Fifa opened an investigation into him.
On Friday, he apologized for holding his face as he cheered in the VIP section of Sydney Stadium, while Spain's Queen Letizia and her 16-year-old daughter stood next to him.
At first, he tried to defend himself from what he did, saying that he tried to comfort Hermoso after England's goalkeeper Mary Earps caught the penalty she hit.
