Hermoso has also reiterated the kiss at the World Cup final was not consensual.
Rubiales was expected to step down at an extraordinary general assembly called by the RFEF but instead claimed he was the victim of ‘social murder’ and ‘false feminism’.
The 46-year-old added it was a ‘spontaneous’ and ‘consensual’ kiss that took place during the trophy presentation last Sunday. But in a statement released on Friday, Hermoso reiterated: ‘I want to clarify, that at no time did I consent to the kiss. I don’t tolerate that my word is questioned, much less that words are invented that I haven’t said.’
56 players including Hermoso and her World Cup-winning teammates signed the joint statement, released by players’ union Futpro, demanding Rubiales be removed from his position at the top of Spanish football. ‘After everything that happened during the delivery of medals of the Women’s World Cup, we want to state that all the players who sign this letter will not return to a call for the national team if the current leaders continue,’ the statement read.
