She demands fair treatment and a fair resolution of her son’s case.
Angeles Behar, mother of the head of the Royal Spanish Football Federation Luis Rubialeswent on a hunger strike and closed in one of the churches in the city of Motril in Spain.
Spanish media reported that Bexar considers her son’s persecution “an inhuman hunt that he did not deserve.” Behar also stressed that she will continue to stay in the church until an honest investigation into the Rubiales case is carried out.
The FIFA Disciplinary Committee has temporarily suspended Rubiales from any football-related activities at the national and international levels for 90 days, pending the completion of disciplinary proceedings opened against the Spanish functionary on August 24.
Rubiales and RFEF representatives are also required to refrain (directly or through third parties) from contact with the Spanish national team player Jennifer Hermoso and her close circle.
During the 2023 Women’s World Cup final and after Spain’s historic 1-0 victory over England, 46-year-old Rubiales let his emotions run wild. In particular, he kissed Hermoso on the lips during the awards ceremony. And her colleague Athenaeus del Castillo, the official put on his shoulder and carried around the field.
Rubiales refused to resign as president of the RFEF. At the same time, the players of the Spanish national team refused to play for the national team as long as the federation has the current leadership.
Rubiales has been the head of the RFEF (Spanish Football Federation) since May 2018, and is also the Vice President of UEFA.
