This Professional League and its Clubs had always defended the need to reach a long-term agreement that would provide stability to the women’s professional football project and allow for a gradual and sustainable growth according to the development of the competition.
The commitment and repeated efforts of the Clubs during the negotiation process have contributed fundamentally to achieving the much-needed peace scenario without losing sight of the sustainability of the competition. A scenario that we hope will show the way to the rest of the institutions that are part of Spanish sport and allow the project of women’s professional football to be promoted.
Finally, This Professional League wants to thank the SIMA Foundation and the mediators involved for their commitment and dedicationwhich have been decisive in achieving this agreement.
WORDS FROM BEATRIZ ÁLVAREZ, PRESIDENT OF THE F LEAGUE

“It has been a tough negotiation but we are satisfied to provide the project with stability“, he said. “What if the unions have tried to torpedo? The most important thing is to focus on what is being played.“.
“It is a realistic agreement, the conditions of the footballers are improved and the sustainability of La Liga is not in danger“, he added. “Eibar played in the Cup today, Levante in the Champions League… it’s the players’ decision.”
