Rubiales’s three-year ban for his conduct at Women’s World Cup final upheld

The former Spanish football federation (RFEF) president was sanctioned by Fifa’s disciplinary committee in October after he kissed Spain midfielder Jennifer Hermoso on the lips during the final medal ceremony in Sydney in August.
