Spain's soccer federation will hold an urgent meeting today as its president, Luis Rubiales, faces a FIFA suspension over allegations he planted an unwanted kiss on the lips of a female player after Spain won the Women's World Cup.

Rubiales, 46, has refused to resign over the incident that occurred just moments after La Roja’s historic 1-0 victory against England when the head of the Spanish football federation (RFEF) grabbed Jennifer Hermoso by the face and planted a kiss on her lips.

Rubiales admits that he made a mistake but that the kiss was consensual but Hermoso, 33, said she did not give her permission and felt violated.

There has been a cry for his resignation from other female athletes worldwide.
