Mr Rubiales grabbed player Jennifer Hermoso and kissed her on the lips during the presentation ceremony following Spain's World Cup final win over England.
The 46-year-old has faced widespread criticism for kissing player Jennifer Hermoso on the lips during the awards ceremony after Spain's 1-0 victory over England in the Women's World Cup final on 20 August.
In his statement, he said:"I made some obvious mistakes, which I sincerely regret from the bottom of my heart. "The spontaneity and happiness of the historic moment led us to carry out a mutual and consented act, the product of great enthusiasm. "At no time was there any aggression, indeed, there was not even the slightest discomfort, but an overflowing joy in both.
"I repeat: with the consent of both parties, both in the affectionate hugs, as well as in the peak and subsequent farewell full of affectionate mutual gestures, that occurred on the Medals delivery stage.
