From 1 July 2022 women’s football in Italy becomes professional. The process started in 2020 with the approval in the federal council of the latest disciplinary rules ended today. «There was some slight resistance from the A League which thought it could propose a possible postponement but then we reached an agreement because there was no turning back. When you decide something you have to be consistent “, explained the president Gravina, who then recalled the 18 million paid in the last three years by the Football Federation to the women’s football division.
The entry of women’s football into professionalism from 1 July «is a positive goal, President Gravina has shown great sensitivity. It was the first to open up to women’s football. Of course we are late among the other nations of Europe, but it is nevertheless an important goal. For the future we need to find sustainability, but if it is done in other countries we can do it too ». Carolina Morace says this to beraking latest news after the vote in the Federal Council of the FIGC that marks the transition to professionalism for the women’s Serie A. Abroad «we have examples, just study and see, adapting it to the Italian particularity. What changes? The protections: in case of maternity, but also of assistance and social security. My knees are bad, I would have been entitled to a pension after so many years of professionalism. And I would have had the pension and certainly some points for the disability ».
