Stan Rogers Folk Festival 2024: 27 years of music and community | SaltWire #festival #music #nsMANCHESTER, England - FIFA's new pay regulations to support female players and coaches through pregnancy, adoption and maternity leave are a big step for women who have struggled to juggle children and career, said former U.S. coach Jill Ellis.
The new regulations will also allow women to receive full pay while absent from training or matches due to menstrual problems, plus encourage teams to allow female players more contact with family while on international duty. "These are big steps and big strides to really normalise the life that we go through as women … that's what we want to provide now at every level, the club level, the national team level –- the opportunity for pro players to have the chance to be mums," added Ellis, who led FIFA's Technical Study Group at the 2023 Women's World Cup.
"So, it's important that we protect those that are affected by their menstrual cycles in a way that it doesn't put at risk their employment situation with their club and, ultimately, their ability to earn money."
