PLAYERS will receive full remuneration if they exercise an entitlement to miss training sessions or matches for menstrual health reasons as one of a host of new regulations for women’s football introduced by Fifa.

The changes to the Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players (RSTP), which come into effect on Saturday and were unanimously endorsed by the Fifa council earlier this month, build on existing regulations that were first announced by Fifa in November 2020.

The announcement also includes new provision for adoptive parents and non-biological mothers.
