Elite-level women's soccer players are facing contrasting challenges in their schedules, according to a recent study by global players' union FIFPRO. The study revealed that while some players like Mariona Caldentey are playing an exceptionally high number of games, others are experiencing a lack of playing opportunities.
Calendtey, who played 64 matches for Barcelona and Spain last season, exemplifies the heavy workload faced by certain players. This was attributed to Barcelona's participation in four different competitions, all of which they won. Despite her impressive track record, many players are only averaging around 33 games per season.
