0:59Now PlayingSpanish football president Luis Rubiales lost one of his last bastions of support after top officials in the federation he heads called for him to resign after kissing a player on the lips at the Women’s World Cup final.
The heads of the federation’s regional bodies withdrew their support after an emergency meeting on Monday in a scandal over gender inequality, which has soured the country’s victory. The next development could come on Tuesday when a Spanish sports court is expected to rule on a government complaint that could empower Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez’s administration to suspend Rubiales.
“After the latest developments and the unacceptable behavior that has caused great damage to the image of Spanish soccer, the presidents request that Luis Rubiales resign immediately,” they said in a late-night statement on Monday.
