After the extraordinary general assembly of the Spanish football federation on Friday, FIFPRO again calls for immediate disciplinary action against the federation president Luis Rubiales following his behaviour at the FIFA Women’s World Cup final.

We welcome FIFA’s decision to open an ethics case, and steps taken at national level in Spain. Furthermore, we have written to UEFA – the organisation of which Mr. Rubiales is a vice-president – requesting that it starts disciplinary proceedings.

Any lack of action by authorities in addressing the conduct of Mr. Rubiales would send an entirely unacceptable and damaging message to the football industry and wider society.
