Luis Rubiales, the former Spanish soccer federation president who resigned after kissing a player without her consent at the 2023 Women’s World Cup final, was pelted with eggs while on stage promoting his book.

The culprit, who was later arrested by police, was revealed to be Rubiales’ uncle.

The incident was captured on video and showed Rubiales sitting on stage while promoting his 500-page memoir. A man can be seen throwing several eggs in Rubiales’ direction, one hitting him directly in the back.

Rubiales charged at the man, but several others stepped in to restrain him. 

Spanish police told The Associated Press that the man, identified as Luis Rubén Rubiales, was arrested. No motive was immediately revealed. The suspect was Rubiales’ uncle and a local actor. 

“A man entered who I later saw was my uncle, who is a troubled man, and always has been,” Rubiales told reporters, via the AP. “He had some eggs and threw some at me, but I didn’t know what he had in his hands, and when I first saw him I thought he might be carrying a weapon.”

EX-SPANISH SOCCER PRESIDENT RECEIVES FINE OVER UNWANTED KISS OF FEMALE PLAYER

In February, Rubiales was found guilty of sexually assaulting Spanish soccer player Jenni Hermoso after he kissed her without her consent following the Women’s World Cup final in 2023. The controversy overshadowed Spain’s title and led to Rubiales’ resignation just weeks later.

Despite prosecutors seeking prison time, Rubiales was ordered to pay a fine and was prohibited from being near or communicating with Hermoso for a year.

The 48-year-old former soccer chief has denied kissing Hermoso without her consent. According to its publisher, Rubiales says he was the victim of a “conspiracy of different powers of Spanish public life” including the government and “the profitable world of feminism.”

Fans of Major League Soccer will no longer need an Apple TV Season Pass to watch matches in the 2026 season.

On Thursday, Apple TV announced it will make all MLS matches available to viewers with an existing Apple TV account.

Viewers will be able to access all regular-season matches, Leagues Cup tournament, the MLS All-Star Game, Campeones Cup and MLS Cup Playoffs with a standalone Apple TV subscription.

The MLS Season Pass as an additional package within Apple TV will officially conclude at the end of the 2025 season.

The move comes after the league announced that the 2025 MLS Cup playoffs would be accessible to all Apple TV subscribers. MLS also made over 200 regular-season matches available to Apple TV subscribers, including all Sunday Night Soccer games, which allowed the league to see an increase in viewership and move toward the recent shift.

“Apple will ultimately decide what the distribution will be. We’re finishing up Year 3 and having it on Apple TV so that it’s distributed to a broader audience during our playoffs I think is a positive,” MLS commissioner Don Garber said in October. “And we’ll take a step back with Apple and figure out what the future distribution is.”

MLS will join Formula 1 within the overarching Apple TV catalogue, after it was announced that Apple TV signed an exclusive five-year deal to be the broadcaster of F1 in the United States starting in 2026,

Major League Baseball also has a deal with Apple TV to allow subscribers access to Friday Night Baseball without an additional cost.

Star Pakistan batter Babar Azam ended his two-year century drought with a brilliant ton against Sri Lanka in the second one-day international (ODI) against Sri Lanka at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on Friday.

The former Pakistan captain’s 32nd in international cricket comes after a gap of two years, two months and 15 days.

The star batter brought up the much-anticipated century off 115 balls when he pulled Pramod Madushan for a single.

Babar, who last made an international century during the ACC Men’s Asia Cup match against Nepal in 2023, had been unable to convert his starts into a big knock.

The 31-year-old scored multiple half-centuries across formats during the drought, but was unable to breach the 100-run barrier.

In the first ODI of the ongoing home series against Sri Lanka earlier this week, Babar showed glimpses of brilliance until Wanindu Hasaranga cleaned him up with a googly.

His 29-run knock stretched his wait for an international century, having gone 83 innings without amassing the milestone across formats, and thus drew level with Indian counterpart Kohli on the list of batters with the most innings without scoring an international century, led by Sri Lanka legend Sanath Jayasuriya.

However, his 84th international innings since his last international century turned out to be a lucky charm for him as he finally reached the milestone after a wait of 807 days.

The drought-ending century was Babar’s 32nd in international cricket and 20th in ODIs. He has scored nine tons in Tests, while three in T20Is. Coupled with 32 centuries, the right-handed batter also has 104 half-centuries to his name across formats.

Babar has also equalled the record for most ODI centuries for Pakistan.

By scoring a century against Sri Lanka, Babar Azam matched Saeed Anwar’s national record.

Anwar scored 20 centuries in 244 innings, while Babar now has 20 centuries in 136 innings.
