The Higher Sports Council (CSD) has suspended the draws for the calendar of the First Women’s Football Division that were going to be carried out this Tuesday by the Professional Women’s Football League (LPFF) and this Wednesday by the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), and regretted that use the players as “hostages” of the conflict that pits both organizations.
In a resolution dated this Tuesday, July 26, signed by the president of the CSD, Jose Manuel Francoand to which Europa Press has had access, the Secretary of State for Sport resolves to “suspend the holding of the draw for pairings of the First Division of Women’s Football calendar called by both the LPFF and the RFEF.”
Said measure is adopted in the event of the “presence of discrepancies” between the LPFF and the RFEF on competition for the organization and celebration of the pairing draw for the calendar of the First Division of Women’s Football, and a contentious-administrative appeal may be filed against it in the next two months.
CSD sources expressed their “perplexity” and “concern” about this conflict. «The players, who are the ones who are creating fans and bringing together three million people in front of the screens, are the unnecessary hostages of conflicts outside of them. We take this edition to avoid a greater embarrassment, “they pointed out.
The LPFF announced this Tuesday that it was going to hold, starting at 1:00 p.m., the calendar draw in “an internal act” that the clubs were going to attend electronically. For its part, the RFEF indicated that said draw was going to take place this Wednesday 27, starting at 12:00, in the Luis Aragonés Hall of the Ciudad del Fútbol de Las Rozas.
The start of the 2022-23 season of the Women’s First Division, the first with professional status, is scheduled for the weekend of September 10 and 11and the last day will be played on May 21, 2023.
