The start of Spain’s new professional women’s league has been called off after referees refused to work until their demands for better wages and work conditions are met. The league was scheduled to kick off on Saturday, Sept. 10, 2022 but the league issued a statement saying that it was impossible to hold the games after the referee crews did not show up.
