随着女性足球职业化发展，越来越多俱乐部和足协开始为球员提供卵子冷冻费用支持。1美国Racing Louisville俱乐部在2021年率先推出此项服务，成为首支资助球员进行卵子冷冻的球队。1英超切尔西最近宣布将资助任何需要的球员进行卵子冷冻，西班牙足协也预计不久将宣布类似政策。1这一趋势反映出对女性职业球员职业生涯规划的新思考，特别是考虑到历史上仅约2%的足球运动员在职业生涯中怀孕。1
然而，医学专家和球员工会对这一做法表示担忧。1妇科医生Lamia Zafrani指出："卵子冷冻不是保证能带来回报的保险政策"，强调该过程耗时约三周，并非简单快速的解决方案。1国际职业足球运动员协会FIFPRO的法律主任Alexandra Gómez Bruinewoud表示："我们不希望卵子冷冻被用作压迫球员不在工作期间怀孕的工具"。1专家们还强调需要充分的医学教育和知情同意，同时指出卵子冷冻过程涉及WADA禁用物质的激素使用。1
As women's football becomes increasingly professionalized, clubs and football associations are beginning to cover egg freezing costs for players 1. Racing Louisville became the first club to offer this benefit in 2021, and Chelsea announced this month that it will subsidize egg freezing for any player who needs it 1. Spain's football federation is expected to announce a similar policy soon 1.
However, medical professionals and players' unions have expressed concerns about the initiative. Legal director Alexandra Gómez Bruinewoud of FIFPRO stated: "We do not want egg freezing to be used as a tool to pressure players not to become pregnant during their working years" 1. Obstetrician Lamia Zafrani cautioned that "egg freezing is not an insurance policy guaranteed to deliver returns," emphasizing the need for thorough medical education and informed consent 1. The practice also involves hormone use containing substances banned by WADA, adding another layer of complexity 1.
The context for these policies reflects a significant gap in professional women's football: historically, only about two percent of female footballers became pregnant during their careers 1. Binding maternity policies were introduced in 2021 and strengthened in 2024 1. The egg freezing procedure itself requires approximately three weeks to complete 1.
