Spanish prosecutors have opened inquiries into the kiss by Spanish FA boss Luis Rubiales.
They announced on Monday they believe the facts of the case may constitute an offence of sexual harassment.
There has been widespread criticism of Mr Rubiales, 46, after he kissed player Jenni Hermoso on the lips following Spain's Women's World Cup final win.The prosecutors office said:"It was agreed to approach Jenni Hermoso so as to inform her of her rights as a possible victim of the offence of sexual harassment... and to offer her the opportunity should she wish within the next 15 days to file a complaint with the Prosecutors Office of the Spanish High Court.
The prosecutor's office said it opened pretrial enquiries because of"public statements made by Jenni Hermoso that the sexual act she experienced and was carried out by Mr Rubiales was non-consensual".
