The deferred first round of matches in Liga F, Spain’s new women’s professional league, will kick start this weekend after a disagreement involving referees was resolved.
Atletico Madrid and Real Sociedad will play their opening Liga F matches on Saturday after being forced to call off their first-round game because the refereeing team did not participate.
Eight fixtures were canceled last weekend after a strike by officials.
Women referees had been asking for professional status and payment in line with officials in the men’s La Liga.
Liga F organisers said in a statement that their new proposal had been accepted by an arbitration group.
