President of the Spanish football federation Luis Rubiales has been suspended by Fifa for an initial 90 day period.
Rubiales kissed midfielder Jenni Hermoso on the lips during the medal ceremony after Spain won the Women’s World Cup final.
He says the kiss was consensual – Hermoso says it was not.
Fifa says that, in addition to the suspension from all football activities, neither Rubiales nor the football federation are allowed to contact Hermoso.
The Spanish football federation had earlier said it was going to take legal action over comments Hermoso made.
At least 81 female players had said they would not play for the national team whilst Rubiales was still in the job.
Rubiales had refused to resign, saying “a social assassination is taking place” and that he will “fight until the end”.
