Luis Rubiales is accused of sexual assault for kissing the player Jenni Hermoso on the lips.

The case has fed into wider discussions about sexism and consent.

Prosecutors are calling for him to receive a one-year prison sentence for sexual assault.

They are also calling for a sentence of a year-and-a-half for coercion.

Three colleagues, including Jorge Vilda , coach of the World Cup -winning side, Rubén Rivera and Albert Luque , all deny the charges.
