Jenny Hermoso, a member of the Spanish women’s national soccer team, revealed on the 14th (Korean time), “Former coach Jorge Bilda, who led our national team in the Women’s World Cup, told the players to leave their bedroom doors open at night.”
In an interview with Spanish TV show Planeta Calleja, Hermoso said, “During the World Cup, the coach came into the players’ bedrooms and had private conversations. He said he didn’t have much time to talk to the players personally, so he came at night.” He announced.
He then raised his voice, saying, “He told the players not to lock the door and wait for him. Because of this, some players waited without locking the door (as instructed) and fell asleep from exhaustion.”
Hermoso, who played a key role in leading Spain to victory in the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup, was the victim of a forcible kiss from former Spanish Football Federation President Luis Rubiales during the tournament ceremony.
The scene was broadcast around the world on TV and caused great controversy. In Spain, protests erupted across the country demanding that female soccer players not be used as sexual objects, and some Spanish national team players boycotted the national team call-up.
Hermoso accused former Chairman Rubiales of sexual assault and coercion, saying it was a ‘kissing without consent’.

While the controversy over ‘forced kissing’ has not yet subsided, Hermoso revealed the former national team coach’s coercive instructions, putting the Spanish women’s national team at the center of a scandal once once more.
Meanwhile, Director Bilda is refuting Hermoso’s claims. Coach Bilda complained of injustice, saying, “I am a person who values respect, equality, and teamwork, and has devoted 17 years to women’s soccer.”
In addition, regarding the rumor that coach Vilda forced Hermoso to speak in defense of former president Rubiales, he refuted the rumor, saying, “There was no such thing at all. Because Hermoso has the right to freely say what he had to say.”
