“Today, this subject obviously came up,” Boquete told The Associated Press when asked if the Rubiales controversy was on the agenda.
Rubiales, who said the kiss was consensual, is suspended by world soccer body FIFA during its disciplinary case against him and also accused of sexual assault by Spanish prosecutors.
UEFA was silent on Rubiales, one of its six vice presidents each paid 250,000 euros ($270,000) annually, for 10 days after the final in Australia.
"We have the opportunity here,” said Boquete, whose 38 goals for Spain is second on its all-time women’s list behind Hermoso.
She also has been educated with UEFA’s help on its Masters course to help players build careers in the industry.
