Luis Rubiales was finally suspended provisionally by Fifa, but other decisions this time in Spain are expected on Monday. Beatriz Álvarez, president of Liga F, the Spanish women’s football league, who filed a complaint with the Administrative Court for Sport: ” It is hoped that the Court will remove him permanently so that this man will never again occupy the position of president of the Football Federation “.
” He’s a misogynist who never liked women’s football »
In addition to this aggression, Alvarez criticizes Rubiales for never having supported women’s football, contrary to what he claims: ” Last year, he presented a report against the professionalization of our league. He is a misogynist who has never liked women’s football and is now trying to whitewash himself “.
The leader underlines the irony of the situation: I call it poetic justice, or divine justice. It is women’s football and precisely a woman who will put this macho and misogynistic person in his place, that is to say outside the Federation “. Repudiated by all, except his Federation, Rubiales assures that he will defend his version – however contested by the player – even in the courts.
