Barcelona’s defeat against Real Madrid in the League F party last Sunday, the first of the Catalans in an official match against the white team, continues to speak and not only for that historic victory of the … Players led by Alberto Toril. Also for the arbitration controversy that surrounded that triumph (1-3) in Montjuic, where the collegiate Olatz Rivera Olmedowith 1-1 on the scoreboard already ten minutes to the end, he annulled the Catalans somewhat for a non-existent game. An action that could not be reviewed because this competition, where all matches are led by women, is disputed without the help of the VAR.
Female exclusivity in the arbitration collective was implemented when the League fthree years ago, as part of a positive discrimination policy that sought to open space to women in an area historically dominated by men. Although the Catalan soccer players did not publicly raise their voice due to the decision of Olatz Rivera, the defeat of Barcelona against Real Madrid, the first in 21 official matches, seems to have removed the foundations of women’s football. As progressed on Monday ‘Mundo Deportivo’, the players themselves have claimed to end the quota that establishes the obligation that their matches are pited Always by women, claiming that the quality of arbitration is prioritized above the genre.
A request to which they also join Trainers and clubswho consider that the professionalization of the competition requires having the best arbitration profiles available, regardless of whether they are men or women. Beatriz Álvarez Mesa, president of League F, referred on Monday in ‘Sport’ to the last arbitration controversy in Spanish women’s football, pointing out that it is not a new issue. “We have been giving voice to the arbitration situation, it is not something of yesterday’s game,” he said.
Meeting on Wednesday
For this Wednesday, there is a meeting to which representatives of the Federation, the Technical Committee of Referees), LaLiga, the F League and the Clubs, will attend, in which the current system will be addressed and the option to entry to male arbitrators in the women’s parties will be addressed. A possibility endorsed not only by some of these agencies, since the players themselves have moved their criticisms and asked for this change. «The best should be arbitrated, no matter if they are chichos or girls. Doesn’t it happen to men? Well, ”he said Coll tastingBarcelona goalkeeper, in a recent interview in ‘Mundo Deportivo’.
«The RFEF promoted female arbitration and I think it is a mistake to promote it in the elite. It should be done at the base. But not promoting referees that should not be arbitrating in a professional league. We must have a value as a league and does not help the product that we have referees of a third federation or similar category level, ”said the president of the League F.
While the F League has grown exponentially since its birth, becoming a reference league championship worldwide, the level of arbitration remains conditioned by this measure of quotas to support women. As measures to improve that level, in addition to the incorporation of men on each day, the option of implementing the VAR, an economically expensive possibility will also be placed on Wednesday.
