When I shoot the soccer game I always need my focusing area to be in the center of the viewfinder. However, when I switch to vertical I often touch the screen with my nose by accident and it moves focusing point away from the center.

Is there a way to fully disable touch focus on EOS RP? There has to be but I haven't found it so far.

I got confused when asking the question. Basically disabling "Touch & Drag AF" does exactly what I wanted, at least on R5 (don't have RP handy but probably the same).

Then when EVF is active your face touching the screen will not affect anything.

When screen is active you will still be able to touch the screen to focus on specific point.

If you need to switch Touch & drag AF on and off often you can add that to your custom menu.
