Former Spanish Football Association president Luis Rubiales has been banned from all football-related activities for three years.
Rubiales, 46, kissed forward Jenni Hermoso on the lips following Spain’s Women’s World Cup final win over England in August.
He refused to resign after the incident but was provisionally banned by Fifa.
On Monday, Fifa announced he had been banned for three years for breaching article 13 of their disciplinary code.
“Mr Rubiales has been notified of the terms of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee’s decision today. In accordance with the relevant provisions of the FIFA Disciplinary Code, he has ten days in which to request a motivated decision, which, if requested, would subsequently be published on legal.fifa.com. The decision remains subject to a possible appeal before the FIFA Appeal Committee,” a statement from FIFA reads.
