The RFEF (Royal Spanish Football Federation) announced that it has reached an agreement with a clinic to fund egg freezing for football players who wish to do so. This measure comes as part of a set of initiatives to support professional Spanish footballers.
The decision is generating a strong division of opinions in the football world and in society in general. While some sectors praise the initiative as a "huge advance" for women's rights in sport, others consider the measure "sexist," arguing that it does not resolve the structural problems that players face.
This is not the first time the RFEF has taken controversial measures related to women's football. Recently, the federation faced criticism after the mass resignation of players from the Spanish national team, in a protest against the management of the national team coach and the working conditions offered to the athletes.
