This article reflects on the evolution of female football in Spain and its path to professionalization. Although a rocky road, advances beyond those found in many other countries had been made before the professionalization, and the decision to professionalize was the icing on the cake. However, even after the professionalization, not everything is clear, and advances towards equality still must be enforced and adjudicated. The article summarizes a longwinded history that has led to a semblance of equality and abundant growth in Spanish female football. Spain has paved the way for other countries to act similarly, which must be taken in stride. Further, from the mistakes, one must learn so that other countries undertaking similar goals attain them faster as a consequence of the already paved road by Spanish sports.
