The shame of the new professional league, by Begoña Villarrubia

The new one Women’s Professional Soccer League was going to become the best League in the world and, for now, it is remaining a sad grotesque and one more reason to intensify the war, already very tiresome, between the League and the RFEF. Instead of taking advantage of the opportunity to develop a competition with a huge audience and revenue potential and to grow a booming sport, a minefield has been created in which every step taken is the cause of conflicts, confrontations and grudges between two entities destined not to understand each other.

The CSD has had to mediate, as if it were a school playground, so that the absurd matter of the two draws on the calendar does not get out of hand. Because not even the LPFF and the RFRF have agreed on that: the new league has not yet started and there has already been a first brawl in the form of an appetizer of what is coming our way.

“Soccer players are being used as hostages,” the CSD has said in anger. The image that is being given to the world is one of other people’s shame.
