Luis Rubiales is facing trial for sexual assault and coercion in relation to incidents during the Women's World Cup final in August 2023, where he celebrated inappropriately and forcibly kissed player Jenni Hermoso. Former coach Jorge Vilda and RFEF officials are also implicated for allegedly pressuring Hermoso to absolve them of wrongdoing. Initial dismissals by Rubiales have evolved into a serious legal situation, highlighting widespread concerns over male privilege in sports as female players condemn his actions, seeking accountability and change in the culture.
"The 'presi' and I have a great relationship, his behavior with all of us has always been 10 (out of 10) and this was a natural gesture of affection."
"Rubiales grabbed his crotch in celebration while sat with Spanish royalty, which many saw as symptomatic of a male-dominated culture."
