Abstract

In an article titled "New Reign in Spain" published in Sports Illustrated, the focus is on the aftermath of Spain's victory in the Women's World Cup in August. The article highlights an incident where the president of the Spanish soccer federation, Luis Rubiales, kissed forward Jenni Hermoso on the lips during the post-match celebration. This led to controversy and pressure for Rubiales to resign, with players supporting the #SeAcabó initiative, demanding a change in leadership. Rubiales eventually resigned and received a three-year ban from FIFA. The article also mentions the firing of Spain women's coach Jorge Vilda and the charges of sexual assault and coercion faced by Rubiales. Despite the controversy, the Women's World Cup was a success, breaking attendance and viewership records. [Extracted from the article]
