Spain's soccer federation will meet urgently on Monday as its president, Luis Rubiales, faces a FIFA suspension and a storm of criticism over allegations he gave a player an unwanted kiss on the lips following Spain's victory in the Women's World Cup.
Rubiales, 46, said he would use the FIFA probe to show his innocence.
She appeared among spectators at the Women's Cup final between Atletico Madrid and Milan on Saturday evening, applauded by the crowd. Players at the match held a banner reading: "With you Jennifer Hermoso". Feminist groups have called a demonstration on Monday in Madrid entitled "With You Jenni" in support of the player.
All 23 of Spain's cup-winning squad including Hermoso, as well as dozens of other squad members, said on Friday they would not play internationals while Rubiales remained head of the federation.
