Who is Luis Rubiales? Explaining Spain’s post-Women’s World Cup controversy, calls for him to resign and more

Spain’s historic Women’s World Cup win has been followed by a series of tumultuous days for the Royal Spanish Football Federation and its president, Luis Rubiales.

He thrust himself into the headlines for all the wrong reasons during the trophy ceremony in Sydney, Australia, where he forcibly kissed player Jennifer Hermoso just before she received her winners’ medal. The days since have delivered wave after wave of storylines as criticism of Rubiales and calls to resign pour in, the federation botches one attempt after the next to save face, the president and his allies grow increasingly defiant, and an overwhelming amount of support for Hermoso arrives from all around the world.
