FIFA said it removed Rubiales from soccer duties for 90 days “pending the disciplinary proceedings opened” against him Thursday. Rubiales has been leading the joint bid by Spain, Portugal, Morocco – and possibly Ukraine – to host the 2030 World Cup. His suspension means that Rubiales cannot attend UEFA meetings or vote in October to decide the winning bids for the 2028 and 2032 European Championships.
Spain’s government — via its Higher Council for Sports — filed a lawsuit Friday alleging that Rubiales violated the country’s sports laws through sexist acts. Spain’s secretary of state for sports, Víctor Francos, said the government would move to temporarily suspend Rubiales — pending the court ruling — if the court agrees to hear the case. If found guilty by the Spanish court, Rubiales could be ruled unfit to hold office.
