This Monday marks the key moment from which the entire process of professionalizing women’s football can be accelerated.
At 12:30, the act is scheduled at the CSD where the approval by its Board of Directors, which meets from 11:00, of the Statutes that will govern the First Division women’s professional league, will be made official.
And once this long process has been unblocked for almost half a year, now everything can be accelerated and in a matter of a month, even less, there could already be a president of the women’s professional competition.
With the Statutes already approved, the founding Commission of the competition can now begin to work, as stated in the founding text of the same.
This Commission will be in charge of appointing the Electoral Commission. Body that must be composed of three lawyers with extensive experience.
Once this Commission is constituted, it will be this one that will be able to start the entire electoral process and where any natural person who considers it so can appear. The only requirement that must be met is to have 4 endorsements from the 16 clubs that are part of this new competition.
There will surely be two nominations.
Once they are presented, the electoral process will start where the winner will come from the candidate who achieves 9 of the 16 votes in the category.
And within this section there is already a candidacy that has made its desire to present itself official. This is the former player Ainhoa Tirapu junto to Dolores Martelli. Then we will see how many more candidates are presented. One of them is clear and will be endorsed by the clubs of the Association of Women’s Clubs. This represents an insurance of ten clubs in the category to which Atlético de Madrid and Sevilla should be added.
Then there are several that have sounded in recent months. The first was María Teixidor, responsible for women’s football at Fútbol Club Barcelona during Bartomeu’s presidency and where he became a member of the Board. Another name is Mary Tattoo, Until just a few weeks ago, he was responsible for the RFEF’s women’s football and now dedicated to the 2030 World Cup bid. A third name is Anne Munoz, with extensive experience in sports management at both the CSD and the RFEF.
