Since the professionalisation of Liga F in 2022, more and more girls dream of becoming professional footballers one day. Spanish women's football has experienced unstoppable growth over the last four years, reaching 127,242 registered players, confirming its status as the second sport with the highest number of licences in Spain. This represents a 15.8% increase, a historic record. A figure that confirms the strength of the grassroots level and the consolidation of an upward trend. Furthermore, this season, the Ciudad Deportiva José Ramón Cisneros, where Sevilla FC plays, hosted the first edition of the Torneo Liga Futura Moeve from 12 to 14 June. It was the first girls' U12 tournament in history, organised by Liga F and Moeve, as part of a firm commitment to boost the development of young players. This major investment in youth academies has a direct impact on the league competition.

Liga F and the clubs commit to academy players

This season, a total of 67 players registered with reserve teams have played at least one match in Liga F Moeve, and seventeen have surpassed the 500-minute mark. In addition, 44 of these players have made their debut in the top flight this year. All sixteen clubs competing in the top division each weekend have fielded at least one academy player throughout the campaign. The two clubs that have invested most in their youth systems this season are FC Barcelona and Madrid CFF, with eight reserve team players each. They are followed by FC Badalona Women with seven; Athletic Club, Real Madrid CF, Levante UD, and Granada CF with five; RCD Espanyol, Atlético de Madrid, and Deportivo Abanca with four; Sevilla FC and Alhama CF ElPozo with three; SD Eibar and Costa Adeje Tenerife with two; and Real Sociedad and DUX Logroño with one.
