The federation have promised change after their president kissed World Cup winner Jenni Hermoso.
The president of the Spanish FA faced widespread criticism after he kissed Jenni Hermoso on the lips following Spain’s World Cup final victory over England.
Hermoso repeatedly insisted the kiss was not consensual with Rubiales, 46, refusing to step down from his position. A statement from the Spanish federation read: ‘Those actions do not reflect at all the values of the whole Spanish society, its institutions, its representatives, its athletes and the leaders of Spanish sport.’
They added: ‘We are sorry that this incident has disrupted what should have been an ongoing celebration of football both for our national team and that of England’s Lionesses, who were a truly remarkable rival in a thrilling final.’
