The Spanish Football Federation will make fertility treatments available to elite players from the women's national team and the coaching staff. This measure aims to reduce pressure on athletes and allow better family planning.
Players and coaching staff members will be able to choose if and when they want to become mothers, with the federation's support throughout this process. This initiative arises to address a need identified among football professionals.
The decision is made in a European context marked by declining birth rates, a demographic challenge that several countries on the continent currently face. The Spanish federation positions itself as a pioneer in protecting the personal and professional lives of women in sport.
