On August 2, Italian football giants AC Milan announced an innovative measure that benefits women’s team players: if a female footballer is pregnant in the final year of her contract, she will automatically receive a one-year contract extension.
According to this new measure, AC Milan women’s football players who become pregnant in the contract year will be automatically given a one-year contract extension, without fear of losing their jobs.
In addition, the club will assist players with childcare during sporting activities and provide support for flights, accommodation and other travel expenses for the children of pregnant or single-parent players.
AC Milan officials stated that the club’s introduction of this unique and innovative birth policy aims to create an environment where players and staff can feel free to make major life choices. The club’s support for its players will extend beyond the pitch and into their lives. AC Milan will also be the first top club in European football to introduce a similar birth policy.
