National player Laura Freigang would like to see more professional conditions for women’s football in Germany based on the example of the host country England, instead of a salary in the millions.
“You can really start in many areas, for example with the training conditions. In England, for example, clubs in the premier league are required to have a women’s team“Said the 24-year-old striker from Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt in an interview with Playboy magazine.
Much more is done and advertised for women’s football in the media in England than in Germany. “To be seen you need a stage“, said Freigang and added: “I just hope that we get a chance and that professional structures emerge.”
worth money for development much more
This does not necessarily have to mean higher salaries. “I wouldn’t want to make millions to be honest. That’s not what we primarily want.”emphasized Freigang, who is aiming for the ninth title with the DFB selection at the European Championships from July 6th to 31st in England.
Rather, it is desirable that larger sums are invested in the development of the sport. “If you look at the men’s transfer fees and see how much money it would take to fund a women’s team, it’s really peanuts“Said the Eintracht striker and appealed to the professional clubs:”Sure, it’s about money, but I think one should ask oneself: Do we live exclusively capitalistically and only promote what brings maximum financial success, or are we also concerned with society?”
