By Jamie Spencer La Liga clubs and the Spanish national team risk being banned from FIFA and UEFA competitions after the government stepped in to oversee the running of the country's football federation. RFEF has been under the spotlight since last summer when Luis Rubiales, then president of the organisation, forcibly kissed Jenni Hermoso on the lips without her consent following the Women’s World Cup final.
