Luis Rubiales, right, embraces Spain\u2019s Princess Infanta Sofia on the podium <\/p>\n

\u201cThere is something I regret, and it was what happened between me and a player, with whom I have a fantastic relationship, just like with the others, where I have certainly made a mistake. I have to admit it,\u201d Rubiales said in his video address.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn that moment of absolute exultation, without any bad intentions or bad faith, well\u2026 that happened. I believe it happened in a very spontaneous way, which I repeat had no bad intentions from either side.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom that point on, it wasn\u2019t interpreted that way as we carried on as normal, naturally, and again with no ill will between us. But outside of that it seems like it has caused a commotion as it seemed to do damage, so I want to apologise for it, I don\u2019t ask for anything else.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rubiales\u2019 actions come less than a year after a mutiny by 15 Spain players, who withdrew their services reportedly due to discontent with a number of aspects of the national team set-up, including the strictness of coach Jorge Vilda.<\/p>\n

The federation refused to budge in response to the players\u2019 complaints, with a statement saying those involved would only be able to return to the national team \u201cif they accept their mistake and ask for forgiveness\u201d.<\/p>\n

Neither Hermoso nor Carmona were among the 15. Hermoso can be heard in a social media post that she \u201cdidn\u2019t like\u201d the kiss from Rubiales, but then later released a statement via the federation saying it was a mutual gesture which was \u201cspontaneous\u201d.<\/p>\n

World players\u2019 union Fifpro said: \u201cIt is deeply lamentable that such a special moment for the players of the Spain national team that was taking place before a global television audience should be stained by the inappropriate conduct of an individual in a role carrying so much responsibility.<\/p>\n

\u201cUninitiated and uninvited physical gestures towards players are not appropriate or acceptable in any context. This is especially true when players are put in a position of vulnerability because a physical approach or gesture is initiated by a person who holds power over them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Uefa has declined to comment.<\/p>\n
