The Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) called the player’s latest accusations “lies” Jenni Beautiful against its president, Luis Rubiales, for the non-consensual kiss after the World Cup final that Spain won, and announced “legal actions”.
“The RFEF and Mr. President will demonstrate each one of the lies that are spread either by someone on behalf of the player or, if applicable, by the player herself,” the agency said in a statement issued on Friday night. to Saturday, after the Spanish international said she felt “victim of aggression” because of Rubiales’s kiss on the mouth.

The RFEF indicated that it will initiate “the corresponding legal actions” to defend the version of its president, who refused to resign on Friday, and that he considered that it was a “consensual” gesture.
The Spanish International Jenny Beautiful, 33-year-old, assured on Friday afternoon that she felt “vulnerable and the victim of an attack” when she received a kiss from Luis
Rubiales on Sunday after the World Cup final, after stating that the kiss “was not consented.”
A few hours earlier, Hermoso had assured, in a first statement from his FUTPRO union, that “at no time” did he consent to that kiss, dismantling Luis’ defense
Rubiales. In its statement, the federation cites the FUTPROin which Hermoso affirms: “In no case did I seek to raise the president.”
wood on the fire
The RFEF accompanies its statement with four photos to defend its version that it was the player who lifted the president off the ground, and not the other way around. “The feet of Mr. President are clearly and manifestly raised from the ground as a result of the action of force carried out by the player,” explains the RFEF.
The federation also responded to the international players, who announced on Friday their refusal to return to play with the national team under the direction of the current RFEF leaders.
In its statement, the RFEF recalls that “participation in the selection is an obligation of all members of the federation if they are called to do so.” Unexpectedly and despite the pressure, the top leader of Spanish soccer refused to present his resignation on Friday before the extraordinary general assembly of his Federation, meeting in Las Rozas, on the outskirts of Madrid.
In the position since 2018, Rubiales, a former professional defender, has launched a counterattack, stating that the kiss was “mutual” and “consented”, and that he had the player’s permission to do so, while attacking the “false feminism”.
This case, the so-called “#MeToo of Spanish football” sparked an avalanche of criticism against Luis Rubiales in the political and sports world.
