Chelsea's Women's Super League game against Manchester United has been postponed due to a scheduling conflict with their Women's Champions League match against Real Madrid, indicating the pressing issues of fixture congestion in women's football.
The WPLL, which oversees the Women's Super League, expressed disappointment at the need to postpone, stating they prioritized player welfare and the impact on supporters who might be affected. They voiced regret for any inconveniences caused to fans.
Uefa stated that they had established principles regarding draw schedules to avoid conflicts for teams within the same national association, which complicates the already congested schedule faced by women's football.
Arsenal manager Jonas Eidevall criticized the scheduling, asserting that both the WSL and Uefa seem to have 'zero concerns' regarding the congestion and timing of fixtures affecting player welfare.
