Former Spanish soccer official Luis Rubiales faces trial for kissing player Jenni Hermoso without consent post-2023 World Cup win.

Former Spanish soccer federation president Luis Rubiales is on trial for allegedly kissing Spanish player Jenni Hermoso without consent after Spain won the 2023 Women's World Cup. Rubiales claims the kiss was consensual, but Hermoso denies this, saying it "stained one of the happiest days of my life." Rubiales and three other former federation officials are accused of coercing Hermoso into downplaying the incident. A verdict is expected in March.
