Spain striker Borja Iglesias has quit the national team after federation president Luis Rubiales refused to resign following his unsolicited kiss on the lips of Jenni Hermoso at the Women's World Cup.
"As a player and as a person I do not feel represented by what happened. I have taken the decision not to return to the national team until things change, and these type of acts don't go unpunished."
