FIFA has banned former Spanish Football Association president Luis Rubiales from all football-related activity for three years.

Rubiales had received a lot of criticism after he kissed Spanish midfielder Jenni Hermoso on the lips during the trophy presentation following Spain's victory over England in August's FIFA Women's World Cup final. Hermoso had said the kiss was not consensual.

While Rubiales initially attempted to carry on in his role, he subsequently resigned last month and has now been punished for a breach of Article 13 of the FIFA disciplinary code.
