FIFA said the incident “may constitute violations of article 13 paragraphs 1 and 2 of the FIFA disciplinary code”.
Spain star Hermoso released a joint statement with union Futpro on Wednesday, which called for action to be taken against the RFEF president.

Human rights organisation Amnesty International offered their backing to Hermoso on Thursday. [CONTINUE READING HERE]>>>
