MADRID, 26 Jul. (EUROPA PRESS) –
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 the players are used as “hostages” of the conflict that confronts both organizations.
In a resolution dated this Tuesday, July 26, signed by the president of the CSD, José Manuel Franco, and to which Europa Press has had access, the Secretary of State for Sport resolves to “suspend the holding of the draw for pairings on the calendar Women’s Football First Division called by both the LPFF and the RFEF”.
Said measure is adopted in the face of the “presence of discrepancies” between the LPFF and the RFEF regarding the competition for the organization and holding of the pairing draw for the calendar of the First Division of Women’s Football, and a contentious-administrative appeal can be filed against it. in the next two months.
CSD sources expressed to Europa Press their “perplexity” and “concern” over 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 11, and the last day will be played on May 21, 2023.
