FIFA are reportedly pushing for Luis Rubiales to be banned from football for 15 years after his alleged sexual harassment.

FIFA will reportedly push for disgraced Spanish FA president Luis Rubiales to be banned from all football for 15 years after the Spanish federation withdrew their support for him.

Rubiales could be banned for up to 15 years

Rubiales was asked to resign after the Spanish FA made a U-Turn, saying his ‘unacceptable’ behaviour had caused ‘grave harm to the image of Spanish football. The behaviour in question is the alleged kiss between Rubiales and Jenni Hermoso.

According to the Daily Mail, FIFA are pushing for a ban for Rubiales of up to 15 years which is the maximum permitted by their statutes.

 In the wake of Spain's World Cup victory over England, Rubiales was given a 90-day interim suspension by FIFA but retained the backing of the Spanish Football Association.

Regardless of the outcome, FIFA are likely to impose a lengthy ban on Rubiales.
