FOOTBALLERS working in the women’s game in Spain continue to fight for their right to partake in the sport in a fair and equal manner following a turbulent period for women’s football in the country.

This weekend, players from Liga F, the top-flight women’s football league in Spain, will begin a two-match strike at the start of the 2023-24 season.

This latest action occurs with Spain’s World Cup win last month as a backdrop, a triumph that continues to raise the profile of numerous ongoing issues in women’s football in Spain.
