The Spanish Football Federation has called an urgent meeting looking into the controversial kiss Luis Rubiales planted on Jenni Hermoso's lips at the Women's World Cup final.
Prosecutors have launched an investigation to determine whether the federation chief's kiss was in fact sexual assault.
So far 81 Spanish male and female football players have signed a letter indicating they will not play another game until he is removed from the board.
Rubiales' mother has gone on a hunger strike because of what she calls the "inhuman hunt" against her son.
