Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said on Saturday the country's women footballers 'gave the world a lesson' by going on
Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said on Saturday the country’s women footballers “gave the world a lesson” by going on strike over federation chief Luis Rubiales’ World Cup kiss.
Spanish midfielder Jenni Hermoso joined a mass strike of women players last week saying she did not consent to being kissed by the country’s suspended football federation chief Rubiales after Spain’s victory in the Women’s World Cup final.Last week in a statement released by women players’ union Futpro, Hermoso and 80 other players said they would not accept an international call-up “if the current leadership continues” at the Spanish football federation .
The government lodged a complaint against Rubiales through the state-run National Sports Council a week ago, accusing him of “very serious” offences. Rubiales has been suspended by world governing body FIFA for 90 days while it decides on disciplinary measures.
