The regional presidents of the Spanish Football Association have requested the immediate resignation of Luis Rubiales. "We will urge the corresponding bodies to carry out a deep and imminent organic restructuring in strategic positions of the Federation to give way to a new stage of management in Spanish football. "Once FIFA has suspended Mr Luis Rubiales, the Federation's internal protocols have been activated as a result of the suspension. "The RFEF maintains its commitment to continue implementing its investment, as well as equality policies for the development of women's football. Rubiales was widely expected to resign from his role as Spanish FA president on Friday but instead made a defiant speech, claiming he was the victim of a witch-hunt by "false feminists".

"The decision adopted by the chairman of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee has been communicated today to Mr Luis Rubiales, the RFEF and (European soccer body) UEFA for due compliance." The committee said it would not provide any further information on the disciplinary proceedings until a final decision was taken.
