Spanish FA to fund egg freezing for female players and referees
–
Neutral summary
The Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) has announced a “groundbreaking agreement” with the Tambre clinic that will allow national team players and referees to freeze their eggs at the federation’s expense. The deal, valid until 2029, includes five years of storage and offers benefits on other treatments, including IVF, for athletes and other staff. Players have long pushed for the measure to delay motherhood until after their careers, though experts also raise welfare concerns for women in sport.
