“That should never have happened,” wrote the head of the world association on Instagram on Thursday evening, referring to the incident following the World Cup final in Sydney.

This spoiled the celebrations. But it happened and the FIFA disciplinary bodies immediately took the necessary measures. “The disciplinary proceedings will take their rightful course,” wrote Infantino, who attended the trophy presentation following the final.

Rubiales kissed player Jennifer Hermoso on the mouth at the awards ceremony following Spain won the World Cup final in Sydney on August 20. He claims the kiss was mutual. After the incident, Hermoso said she “felt the victim of an impulsive, sexist and inappropriate act that I did not consent to.” FIFA suspended Rubiales for 90 days and initiated disciplinary proceedings.

Infantino went on to say that unfortunately “the well-deserved celebrations for these great champions were spoiled by what happened following the final whistle” and what happened in the days that followed. FIFA should continue to focus on how women and women’s football might be further supported in the future – both on and off the pitch. “We should uphold true values ​​and respect the players as individuals and for their fantastic performances.” Infantino described the World Cup as the best and biggest women’s World Cup in history and congratulated the Spaniards on the title.

Rubiales was suspended from all football offices following the forced kiss for Hermoso. The Spanish sports court TAD is also dealing with the case at the request of the government in Madrid. Rubiales refuses to resign as president of the national association RFEF, although this has also been demanded by the regional associations of the RFEF, among others.
