The context of women's football in Spain has been changing in recent years: interest in matches and club achievements is growing, while Barcelona's successes are setting the standard for other teams. This season, the club once again affirmed its status as a leader, and attention to women's football is increasing against the backdrop of high-profile news about transfers and the retirement of leading players. For example, it was recently announced that one of the club's key figures is ending her playing career at Barcelona — more on this can be found in the article on the retirement of Alexia Putellas.
