‘We Can Feel Comfortable Now’: Grimshaw Praises AC Milan’s Maternity Policy For Women’s Football
As AC Milan: AC Milan have made history by becoming the first club in Europe to introduce a maternity policy that guarantees contract renewals for players who become pregnant in the final year of their deals. This pioneering initiative also includes childcare support and expenses for both the player’s children and a companion.
The move, led by the club’s head of women’s football, Elisabet Spina, is a significant stride toward gender equality in sports, and it’s being hailed as a potential model for other clubs across Europe.
In an interview with BBC Sport, AC Milan captain Christy Grimshaw emphasised the importance of this policy for female athletes, who often feel forced to choose between their careers and starting a family.
