Financial and mental issues lead women to leave football early

According to the 2026 report by the Professional Footballers' Union (FIFPRO), nearly half of female football players are considering early retirement due to financial pressures and mental health issues. Despite an increase in the average monthly salary to approximately $2,601 adjusted for inflation, the actual median remains low at $1,669, reflecting uneven growth—especially in Eastern Europe and other regions. Only 56% of players have employment contracts, and 57% suffer from mental health problems, often without adequate support from their clubs. The report also highlights that improving working conditions, prioritizing mental health, and reducing financial stresses are essential to enable female players to continue their careers professionally.
