MADRID: Football’s ruling world body FIFA said on Saturday it had suspended Spanish federation chief Luis Rubiales from all football-related activities for three months as it investigates an incident in which he kissed player Jenni Hermoso after Spain’s Women’s World Cup victory. The suspension from national and international activities takes effect immediately from Saturday, FIFA said in a statement on the action taken by disciplinary committee chief Jorge Ivan Palacio. FIFA had opened disciplinary proceedings against Rubiales on Thursday over his actions last Sunday in Sydney.
