Last Thursday, when we told Mundo Deportivo that the women’s league will start on September, 10th Instead of Saturday the 27th, we have already announced that another of the matters that the League and the RFEF had to agree on are the declines of this category.
Initially, the federal body has included in the competition rules that would be five (from twelfth to sixteenth) those who would lose the category at the end of the 2022-2023 season. A provision that, as stated in the regulations themselves, was pending agreement with the League. Always keeping in mind that this is a matter for the employers.
Well, as Mundo Deportivo has learned, there will be only two clubs that descend the next season. That is, only the fifteenth and sixteenth will lose the category.
Another issue that is practically agreed upon is the licenses that the teams of this first professional league will have. Initially there will be no changes and they will remain 24 licenses that the 16 clubs in the category will have.
Set the number of non-communitarian
What they still have to decide is the number of non-community players who can play in this professional league. Something that they must negotiate with the unions and starting from the scenario where they come from a non-professional soccer where there is no limit of foreign and non-EU players. We will have to see the position considering to what extent from the different unions understand that many foreigners threaten the national team.
And another matter to deal with has to do with the cost of arbitrations of this new competition. Something that, as happens in men’s football, must be agreed upon by the new professional league and the RFEF within the coordination agreement that both parties must sign. And we will see what agreement is reached because in professional football there is significant dissatisfaction with the emoluments that they had to pay last season for each arbitration.
Because the RFEF, in its rate update At the beginning of the 2021-2022 campaign that has just ended, this item increased by 1,900 euros compared to the previous season. He set a fixed price of 3,300 euros per game compared to the 1,400 euros that existed before. This gave each of the women’s league clubs a global amount of 49,500 euros compared to 21,000 just a season before.
It is convenient to know that it is the local team that takes care of this expense. Hence, if we multiply these 3,300 euros by the 15 games that each team plays in their fiefdom, it explains the nearly 50,000 euros in arbitration costs.

Now the two parties must sit down, and as happens with other matters already mentioned such as descents, promotions, calendar, licenses… and reach an agreement for payment of the arbitration activity. In men’s football, the professional arbitration agreement was signed in August 2018 between the RFEF and the League for a duration of five seasons. The agreement ends on June 30, 2023.
