The Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) is working on the details of a historic agreement for women's sport that will allow footballers the possibility to freeze their eggs. The news was advanced by Alexia Putellas to the newspaper EL PAÍS and confirmed by EL PERIÓDICO. This agreement represents a significant advance for women's sport, allowing athletes not to have to give up motherhood if it is desired in parallel with their sporting career.

According to sources close to the locker room, the agreement is closed and active has been for months, and there are already players who have expressed interest in using it. This measure joins other reconciliation policies that had already been implemented at the RFEF, reinforcing the organization's commitment to the well-being of footballers.

Public details about who and how this agreement will benefit are still pending, but according to what EL PERIÓDICO found out, it will be broadly applied, covering a large number of athletes. The information about this historic agreement comes at a time of growing recognition and appreciation of women's sport.
