Asociación de Futbolistas Españoles (AFE)

The Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) has moved to break the impasse that has engulfed women’s football in Spain by offering €1.15m ($1.27m) to boost player salaries across the top-tier Liga Iberdrola.

The Royal Decree that paves the way for the collective selling of Spanish Liga media rights generated fallout – a week of strike threats, insults and posturing by all sides – which diverted attention from what remains a momentous change in Spanish football.
