"Minimum salaries for players in the top two tiers of professional women's football in England are being introduced for the first time this season. It is one of the requirements brought in by WSL Football - the company overseeing England's professional leagues. WSL Football would not disclose what the minimum level will be, but it is described as a "full-time wage". It is expected the salary range will be made public when the updated WSL and WSL 2 regulations are published later this season."
""We feel that's a really positive move. We have so many players who have had to juggle part-time roles while playing football," WSL Football's chief operating officer Holly Murdoch told BBC Sport. "Being able to ensure all our players can earn a full-time wage from football is very, very important. I would say it's the start as it's a framework we can develop on."
WSL Football is introducing minimum salaries for players in the top two tiers of professional women's football in England this season. The minimum amount has not been disclosed but is described as a "full-time wage", with the salary range expected to be published alongside updated WSL and WSL 2 regulations later this season. Salaries will be set using thresholds including player age, league level and playing experience after consultation with the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA). Clubs must meet higher criteria for high-performance environments. A multi-year deal with Nike will provide boots and goalkeeper gloves to unaffiliated players. A collaboration with Kyniska Advocacy will give all players access to an independent confidential welfare support service.
