We’ve been counting for weeks Sports world the scenario in the negotiation to determine the non-EU foreign players who will be able to play in the new women’s professional women’s league. Initially it is your own Liga together with the unions and the RFEF They should sit down to discuss this matter. Let’s not forget that right now the federation will not process new licenses for non-EU foreign players until an agreement is reached.

A pact that is very difficult right now, given that we are starting from a scenario where the season that has just ended, the 16 now professional clubs have not had any registration limit as it is a non-professional league.
The positions between both parties, as we already count days, are very far apart. The clubs are considering a number close to 12 licenses that would be gradually reduced in the coming seasons but that is the only way to be able to adapt coming from this scenario where there were no limits.
Nothing to do with what they think from a union like AFE where, as we already anticipated a few days ago, they bet on the three that exist in men’s soccer, understanding that it favors the nationals and benefits the different national teams.
At this point, it is clear that this problem can only be solved by CSD as stated in the Royal Decree of Sports Federations. It makes it clear that “The determination of the number of non-EU foreign players authorized to participate in official professional events or competitions at the state level, will be carried out by common agreement between the Spanish Sports Federation, the professional league and the corresponding association of professional athletes. “. In case of disagreement, it will be CSD who will establish “by resolution, the number of non-EU foreign players who will be able to participate in the competitions of the professional leagues”.
The professional Arbitration Committee will determine the cost of the referees
And then there is the cost of arbitration in the new professional category. Currently the 16 clubs have been paying 3,300 euros per game last season for arbitration work. Starting from the fact that it is the local team that takes care of this expense; This represents a total of 50,000 euros this past season for the 15 games that each team plays in their stadium.
Well then, the proposal put forward by the RFEF to the League for this 2022-2023 season happens because the clubs pay the same as in the First Division of men’s football. Amounts that are far from what the clubs had in mind.
We will see why this matter, as stated in the Royal Decree of Sports Federations, must be resolved by the Professional Arbitration Committee. Also in its second additional provision, it states that “In those sporting modalities in which there is official competition of a professional nature, an Arbitration Committee of the professional competition will be constituted”.
A body that must be composed of a member appointed by the League, another by the RFEF and a third party appointed by agreement between the parties. If there is no agreement, it will be the CSD who decides And among its functions, also included in this provision, is to set the economic amount. It literally says the following about its functions;
“1- Appoint the referees who will direct the matches
2- Establish the rules that have an economic impact on the arbitration of professional competition
3- Develop programs for updating and standardizing the technical criteria during the competition, in accordance with the guidelines established by the respective Technical Committee of Referees”
It is clear that it is not a trivial matter. But, even in the case of reaching the start of the league without an agreement, the RFEF must provide the arbitration service to the League so that the matches are played without problems.
