Luis Rubiales is the boss of Spain’s football. Spain’s women’s team wins the World Cup.

When the match ends, Rubiales kisses one of the players. People are angry. They do not like the kiss. They say that Rubiales must not do something like that. Coach Jorge Vilda is sorry for Rubiales’ actions. The Royal Spanish Football Federation supports Rubiales.

Rubiales says that the player is okay with the kiss. But FIFA suspends Rubiales for three months. Some players do not want to play now. They want Rubiales to end in his job.

Difficult words: match (a game), support (to be with someone and help him when he is in a difficult situation), suspend (to make someone end his job).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.

What do you think about Rubiales' actions and the consequences of them?
