Eggs Thrown at Luis Rubiales at Madrid Presentation of 'Matar a Rubiales'

He was promoting a book denying wrongdoing under ongoing court and FIFA sanctions.

Overview

  • The incident occurred in Madrid during a presentation of his book "Matar a Rubiales," with video showing an unknown man throwing several eggs.
  • The first egg missed, a second struck Rubiales in the back, a third was deflected by his hand, and the assailant was quickly restrained and removed.
  • Rubiales used the event to advance his account of the 2023 World Cup kiss, alleging a media and political conspiracy and stating he will not return to the federation.
  • His February 2025 conviction for sexual aggression includes a €10,800 fine and a one-year no‑contact order with Jennifer Hermoso, and the appeals court upheld the ruling.
  • He remains under a three-year FIFA suspension imposed after the kiss incident.
