The RFEF Holds a Working Meeting with Liga F Clubs in Málaga
Rafael Louzán chaired a new executive meeting with Spain’s professional women’s football clubs ahead of the UEFA Women’s Nations League semi-final first leg between Spain and Sweden at La Rosaleda.
In line with the Royal Spanish Football Federation’s (RFEF) commitment to working collaboratively with all stakeholders in Spanish football, the city of Málaga hosted a new meeting between the professional women’s clubs, representatives of Liga F, and the RFEF leadership team, headed by President Rafael Louzán.
The Palacio de Miramar in the Andalusian capital served as the venue for this gathering, held on the eve of Spain’s UEFA Women’s Nations League semi-final first leg against Sweden at La Rosaleda on Friday, 24 October.
In his opening remarks, President Rafael Louzán underlined the importance of maintaining a regular schedule of meetings with clubs: “Today we want to assess where we stand, how far we have come through our previous and periodic meetings, and continue to share ideas that allow us to keep progressing together,” he stated.
The meeting was attended by Beatriz Álvarez, President of Liga F; Pedro Curtido, President of the Andalusian Football Federation (RFAF); and Álvaro de Miguel, Secretary General of the RFEF, alongside the Federation’s working team and representatives of all Liga F clubs.
On behalf of Andalusian football, Pedro Curtido welcomed the professional women’s clubs to Málaga. Beatriz Álvarez, President of Liga F, highlighted the value of the Federation’s open approach: “It is important to recognise the RFEF’s active listening and the willingness of its president to engage. This dialogue is extremely useful for continuing to work on the issues currently on the table.”
During the meeting, several key areas of interest for the development of women’s football in Spain were addressed with active participation from club representatives. Topics included:
The Coordination Agreement between the RFEF and Liga F — its current implementation and the Federation’s proposals for its future development and to streamline financial support for clubs;
The reform of the competition system; and
The new refereeing model and the implementation of Football Video Support (FVS) for the 2025/26 season.
These formed the central focus of the working forum, aimed at strengthening collaboration and advancing the growth of women’s football in Spain.
