Former Spanish FA Chief, Luis Rubiales Appears in Court to Address Alleged Forcible Kissing of World Cup Winner Jenni Hermoso

Former Spanish FA chief, Luis Rubiales, has appeared in court to address sexual assault charges, vehemently denying any malicious intent. He described the incident as a fleeting moment of happiness and great joy, devoid of any sexual connotation.
This legal development coincides with the arrival of the new coach, Montse Tome, who is making history as the first woman to lead the team. She is scheduled to announce her squad on Friday for the upcoming UEFA Women's Nations League matches against Sweden and Switzerland, taking place on September 22 and 26.

Tome's primary objective will be to persuade the 23 world champions to represent their country once again, following their previous declaration that they would not play for the national team without substantial changes within the federation.

The players have not yet articulated their response following Rubiales' resignation. However, the landscape has evolved since the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) dismissed the controversial coach Jorge Vilda, appointed Tome as his successor, and pledged further internal reforms.

Rafael del Amo, the head of the RFEF's women's football committee, expressed optimism, stating, 'We have had discussions. I don't think there will be any problem. I think things will move forward.'
