this Women’s Football He celebrated September 10 as a historic day. started first professional league and there were many prospects for a competition that promised change and that eventually started with the same uncertainty as it always has. The Professional Women’s Football League (LFPP) did not see the arbitration group as professional. And they were planted. First day in the air.
The referees’ complaint began with a press conference in early September. “If we want a professional league, what matters referees has a contract. We are the only property that does not own”, assured Guadalupe Porras, Yolanda Parga and Marta Huerta on behalf of the arbitration group. “It takes this little leap in quality to ask for exclusivity. Can someone quit their job for 160 Euros per game?
A week later, his condition was still sluggish. And less than two days before the start of the league, they announced that they would not be running the games without going pro. “We want to communicate Our decision not to play a match under the current conditions they warned that our labor and economic situation should not be defined.
an endless war
After a statement from the arbitration group, the LPFF directly blamed Rubiales: “The professionalization of women’s sport is experiencing a new era of embarrassment, again led by RFEF President Luis Rubiales, using women as coaches once again. Destroy Spanish women’s football and prevent this growth of professional women’s football“, they stated. As reported from the competition, both organizations were already discussing the referees’ new economic conditions, but the federation did not respond to the final proposal.
The RFEF allocated 3,300 euros per match for arbitration. However, 2,598 of them were for travel, grooming and clothing, leaving 300 euros for the referee, 160 for the assistants and 80 for the fourth referee. The new proposal included the allocation of the existing 3,300 euros only to the arbitration group. This means going from 300 euros to 1,650 and from 160 to 825. they don’t thinkagain, conditions of the fourth arbitrator or a contractrequired to provide minimum benefits that they do not currently have, such as contributions or sick leave.
The current RFEF offer is to allocate five million euros per season, 21,000 euros per game and 315,000 euros per team. But again, uncertainty reigns. It is not known which portion of the investment goes directly to the arbitration group and how the costs will be managed. Also, these five million won’t be implemented anytime soon, but The current budget will be increased gradually.
Due to the lack of agreement between the two responsible agencies, CSD intervened. “They will have all the support to improve their current conditions, increase their salaries and gain professional recognition. “The Council will hold meetings between the parties from next week to promote a negotiation that meets these goals,” he said. Again, a few hours before the start of the competition, nothing is clear. And it will be up to the referees to rely on these meetings to come to the match or not see it as a sufficient guarantee to guide the first day.
The new competition, the F League, is no longer governed by the federation, but is still responsible for dictating regulatory rules. And the professional league and RFEF continue to have to agree on various decisions. Y It’s not the first time CSD has had to intervene. He’s already done it this summer to agree on non-community competition or deal with the calendar.
Changes in the new league
For the first time in history, all league matches will be televised. DAZN acquires audiovisual rightsr 35 million and five seasons. Mediapro will also stream a free match every day, increasing the deal to 7.5 million per campaign, doubling previous years’ revenue. If this was played at the end of the first day, all matches can be followed openly on YouTube.
There are also changes in the calendar. One of the problems with last season was that most of the games overlapped. DAZN has the ability to move meetings to Friday and Monday (18:00 or 20:00), and Five slots for Saturday and Sunday.
One of the most important changes is 42 million deal with La Liga. They will be responsible for all sponsorships such as naming, marketing, balls. The other sponsor of the competition will be agreed upon and this will give League F his last name. Deal with Puma, the men will provide the balls as in the first and second part. At the moment the balls have not arrived and they will start with the balls of the Santander League.
Finally, another important distinction is that CSD will contribute 18 million to clubs For sports infrastructures to be distributed according to the characteristics of each team. For example, last season, 25% of the revenue went to those who did not have a boys’ club behind them.
