The La Liga F can start next weekend After an agreement was reached for the professionalization of the collegewho supported the improvement of their working conditions and that they had already taken a break that prevented the dispute on the first day of competition.
As indicated by the Real Spanish football federation (RFEF), “a series of talks” with the Supreme Council of Sport (CSD) took place during this Wednesday, which helped to unblock the situation and which gave their fruits “in a historic agreement for the professionalization of refereeing institute in women’s football “.
Thus, both the body chaired by José Manuel Franco and the federation signed “a pioneering pact“After having decided to allocate some budget items in an agreement for six seasons, in which the CSD will contribute during the first three” an amount of 350,000 euros more per year that will go to an individual mutual fund which the referees will be able to dispose of once their professional career has ended “.
“In addition, the RFEF will contribute the same amount during the first three years to the LPFF through the coordination agreement to be allocated entirely to the clubs to deal with the arbitration of the competition”, detailed the federative body.
For its part, the Women’s professional football championship (LPFF) celebrated that the arbitration panel has “accepted” the proposal that had been put forward by the employers and thus allows the competition to resume “after the embarrassing episode of the first day and which should never have been allowed”. The organization chaired by Beatriz Álvarez Mesa stressed that, “from the first moment, and especially after the meetings on Monday and Tuesday”, it became clear, “with the government as a witness, that Lega F has shown with deeds, not with words, the will to find an agreement“.
The Women’s League that the financial demand of the referees was unsustainable
The LPFF recalled that the offer for assistant referees had already improved in the last meeting and that although it did not go from € 25,000 for the principal, “the proposal of the RFEF and the referees has begun, not finished, for a receipt. arbitration of 21,000 euros per game “, a figure similar to that charged by the referees of LaLiga Smartbank,” a competition that generates around 150 million euros per year for television rights “.
“It I would have supposed for the F League and its clubs an arbitration expenditure of 5 million euros per season, or 70% of the audiovisual revenues generated by the competition would go at the expense of arbitration. Faced with this position far from not only the reality of women’s football, but also from the socio-economic context that the country is experiencing, the F League has always been firm in the defense of a sustainable project over time and which, above all, respects work and ‘commitment of many people who fought for him “, added the organization.
He warned that “as much as some would have you believe, professionalization is not a key to opening a cash boxbut it foresees “the possibility that women’s football can be managed independently by those who truly believe in it, thus allowing them to have the necessary tools to make it grow”.
“The unity and firmness of the clubs, players, fans and public opinion has succeeded in making the refereeing group think. Thank you”, condemned the women’s professional football league.
