Former Spanish Football Association president Luis Rubiales has been banned from all football-related activities for three years, APA reports citing BBC.

Rubiales kissed forward Jenni Hermoso on the lips following Spain's Women's World Cup final win over England.

He was provisionally banned by Fifa but initially refused to resign, before eventually stepping down in September.

On Monday, Fifa announced the three-year ban for breaching article 13 of their disciplinary code.

Rubiales, 46, claimed the kiss at the post-match presentation ceremony was "mutual" and "consensual" but Hermoso said it was not consensual, and filed a legal complaint.
