There will be Women’s League this Saturday or Sunday. Finally, an agreement was reached between the employers’ association and the women’s football unions on the minimum salary for female footballers, established at 21,000 euros this season. 2023-24 with an option to go up to 23,000, as well as 22,500 with an option of 25,000 in the season 2024-25 and 23,500 euros with the option to reach 28,000 during the season 2025-26. An agreement that finally allows the strike to prevent a dispute on the first day of F League.
It should be noted that the 28,000 euros depends on the commercial income of the league. From the eight million that the league receives in this concept, they will be used to reach these values. These are the keys to the agreement that would allow a consensus among all parties.
At the headquarters of SIMA -Interconfederal Mediation and Arbitration Service-, acting as mediator, the president of League F met again, Beatriz Alvarez, with the unions FUTPRO, Futbolistas ON, AFE, CCOO and UGT to finish unblocking the agreement on the minimum salary of the players, a point that did not allow further progress in the renewal of the collective agreement . After a week of marathon days, clubs and players shake hands.
With the League being professional since last seasonthe agreement became obsolete in 2020. So, there will be a league this weekend, which starts this Friday (9:00 pm/DAZN) with a match between Valencia and the real Madrid of the second day of the League, while the first day must find a date.
LaLiga announced this Wednesday evening in an official statement that “after a new and long day of negotiations Through SIMA, Liga F and the unions came to an agreement in relation to the minimum wage which permits the calling of a strike”.
“This Professional League and its Clubs have always defended the need to achieve a long-term agreement that will provide stability to the women’s professional football project and allow gradual and sustainable growth in line with the development of competition,” the League added.
The employers’ association emphasized that “the commitment and repeated efforts of the Clubs during the negotiation process contributed fundamentally to the achievement of the much-needed peace situation without losing sight of the maintaining competition. A scenario that we hope will show the way to other institutions that are part of Spanish sport and will allow the project of women’s professional football to be promoted.”
“Finally, this Professional League would like to thank the SIMA Foundation and the intermediaries involved for their commitment and dedication, which was decisive in achieving this agreement”, concluded the official note from the League.
