Last week the first meeting called by the president of the RFEF, Rafael Louzan, with League F and the 16 clubs that form it was held in the Soccer City of Las Rozas. At the moment, in this new era it remains exactly the same … The absolute oblivion of the rest of clubs and categories of Spanish women’s football (non -professionals) for both organizations.
The licenses of the clubs that are not part of the F League are 99.63% of the total (107,853), an overwhelming fact that both the federative leaders and the president of the League F. take chest. It is true that it is not competition of this everything that exceeds the mere professional competition, but that is why it surprises that in the organization chart that appears on the website of the organizing institution, both are vacant Competition Director and Audiovisual Product as the Business Management. That is, the institution that has to organize the competition and the one that has to generate business lacks responsible for these areas.
As stated on its website, “the remuneration received in the 2023-2024 season for the professional directive structure of League F, which includes presidency, vice presidency, general direction and management positions, amounts to 970,159.52 euros.” Beatriz Álvarez herself said in April that the average salary of a footballer in League F “is around 40,000 euros.” In other words, the average costs of the teams of the equipment are around one million euros. In other words, 25 players of a team of a team won more or less the same as the directors of the F. League and that, without responsible for competition and without a business manager.
The strategy is the less surprising, because at first glance, it generates a lot of doubts about the sustainability of the product (read competition), and those sweat Figure more than alarming: its maneuvering fund (current current-passive) is negative is 689,000 euros. The objective of this ratio is to measure the capacity of a company to have sufficient liquidity to meet short -term payment commitments. That is why the economic one was the main theme of the meeting between Louzán and the clubs. According to the Coordination Agreement between the RFEF and the Liga F, the first must pay the second 2.5 million euros per year “as a contribution to the impulse of women’s professional football.” As of the meeting, that amount had not been received, and the RFEF has decided that this money will go directly to the clubs and not to the F League, which will be only and exclusively the payment gateway.
What exactly is the strategy of an institution responsible for organizing a competition, with the positions of a vacancies competition and business director? How will you safeguard and ensure the viability and sustainability of clubs that are in an economically critical situation? Its situation may not be as critical as the accounts of the entity responsible for organizing the competition, as extracted from the results made by the League F. and all this despite the fact that in 2022 he received a subsidy from the Higher Sports Council for an amount of 5 million euros, in order to “finance expenses linked to the development and support of the activity of the Professional Women’s Soccer League and the strengthening of the competition it organizes, both through the establishment of an organizational structure of the League itself as of the competition through the sports clubs and societies that make it up ». Or also received by the CSD in 2023 of another 5 million euros for current expenses.
Ladies and gentlemen of the league F, sure “what are we winning”? Time passes and, despite the fact that some believe that things are changing, the truth is that the alarm lights, on for a long time, are still activated without anyone turning them off.
