Agreement reached to suspend female footballers’ strike in Spain
Top-flight female footballers in Spain have agreed to suspend a playing strike after securing an agreement to reopen negotiations over pay, it was announced on Monday.
Footballers in Spain’s women’s league launched an indefinite strike on November 15, 2019 seeking to double the minimum wage to 16,000 euros ($17,680), the players’ union AFE announced. The Association of Women’s Football Clubs (ACFF) believes the more modest clubs will be unable to afford wages with the minimum currently set at 8,000 euros. (Photo by FRANCK FIFE / AFP)
