Several members of the Spanish Football Federation resign.

A number of officials from the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) have resigned following Rubiales' controversial speech at the extraordinary general assembly meeting on the afternoon of August 25.

According to Marca, José Angel Pelaez (president of the Cantabrian Football Federation), Kepa Arrieta (president of the Alavesa Football Federation), and Javier Landeta (president of the Basque Football Federation) have all resigned from the Spanish Football Federation's board of directors.

The president of the Basque Football Association, Javier Landeta, has resigned from the board of directors of the Spanish Football Federation.

Earlier, Spanish Football Federation president Luis Rubiales declared he would not resign despite criticism for kissing player Jenni Hermoso. He said: " I was wrong, but is my departure really necessary after the impact I've made on Spanish football? I will not resign ."

Following this statement, La Liga president Javier Tebas wrote a critical article about Luis Rubiales. " He is a liar and is hiding his hypocrisy to escape the scandal. But the truth remains unchanged ," Tebas commented.

A number of famous Spanish players such as Iker Casillas, De Gea, and Sergi Roberto have expressed their disappointment and affirmed their support for female players. The 2022 Women's Ballon d'Or winner, Spanish international Alexia Putellas, said: " This is unacceptable. Keep trying, my teammate, Jenni Hermoso ."

Barcelona, ​​Espanyol, and Sevilla have issued statements protesting against Rubiales.

The Nou Camp club wrote: " Barcelona considers the actions of the RFEF president to be improper. Mr. Rubiales himself has acknowledged his mistake and apologized. Faced with this absurdity, Barcelona is committed to continuing its support for women's sports , gender equality, and ensuring the safety of women, and to condemn any violation of our principles ."

Felix Bolanos, Chief of Staff to the Spanish Prime Minister , wrote on his personal page: " Spanish society does not want gender discrimination. Spain should be a place to celebrate the victory of the players at the World Cup, not this shame. Feminism helps us to be better. We will act ."

The Madrid Public Prosecutor's Office has filed a complaint against Rubiales with the National Court, alleging "sexual assault".
