JAKARTA - The President of the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), Luis Rubiales, defended his controversial actions after the 2023 Women's World Cup final. He kissed Jennifer Hermoso's lips during the medal award ceremony.

The Spanish women's national team won the 2023 Women's World Cup. This moment became a sweet history because it was Spain's first successful win of this prestigious trophy in the history of their football.

The 2023 Women's World Cup medal award ceremony was held on Sunday, August 20 local time. But there are moments that are considered inappropriate during this event.

Rubiales kissed Hermoso's lips during a medal award ceremony, but then defended himself. For him, this is not something that deserves to be exaggerated.

"Smell with Jenni? There are stupid people around. When two people have moments of love without any meaning, we don't have to listen to ignorance," he said, quoted by Marca, Monday, August 21.

"We are world champions and I stick to it," he continued in defense.

On the other hand, Hermoso has even stated that he does not like Rubiales' actions. He was also surprised that he could not react in the moment the incident occurred.

"Hey, I don't like it," Hermoso said at another time. Spain won the 2023 Women's World Cup after beating England 1-0 in the final. Spain's winning goal was scored by Olga Carmona.
