Spain's Jenni Hermoso says "football continues to give me life" six months on from winning the World Cup, when former Spanish federation chief Luis Rubiales kissed her.

Hermoso was speaking at her first international news conference since the incident, which she says was not consensual.

Spain face France on Wednesday in the inaugural Women's Nations League final.

"I'm lucky to be back in a final after six very long months," said Hermoso.

"Today I'm enjoying football, competing with Spain to win another tournament."

Hermoso, 33, filed a legal complaint against Rubiales after he kissed her on the lips following Spain's victory over England in the World Cup final in Sydney, Australia in August.
