The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has ruled in favour of a Swedish women’s footballer in a landmark maternity case that could shape how pregnancy protections are applied across professional football in future. The case, in which Maja Gothberg was successful against her former club Lazio Women, is the first in which CAS has found that a football club unlawfully ended an employment relationship because of a player’s pregnancy and awarded salary compensation and damages on that basis. 🔗 To learn more, visit: fifpro.org/en/articles/20…

"Players are human beings." South Africa captain Ronwen Williams has spoken out about the online abuse and harassment directed at him and members of the national team from people in South Africa and across the continent. As Bafana Bafana prepare for their second FIFA World Cup match against Czechia, FIFPRO and the South African player union @SAFPU_Official condemn this abuse, stand with the entire squad, and call for unity. No player should face abuse, harassment, or become a target for circumstances beyond their control. #NoToHate
