Van Es and Kaptein remain silent, but Sanne van Dongen reveals salaries in the Eredivisie Women

The salaries in the Azerion Women’s Premier League are a topic of discussion this weekend. The players The captains of the women’s teams enter the field in the eighteenth match wearing shirts with the text ‘Paid football = getting paid’, because they believe that players should earn more money. Good Morning Eredivisie discusses the current merits of the players.

Table guests Kika van Es (retired last season) and Wieke Kaptein (lent by Chelsea to FC Twente) did not want to discuss their own salaries. Nevertheless, Hans Kraay junior wanted to know what amounts should be considered in the Eredivisie Women. Presenter Sanne van Dongen gave him more clarity. “I am independent, they are not going to fire me at Ajax,” she said, laughing.

“At Ajax, all girls earn 2,100 euros minimum wage based on 40 hours. That is the best-paid club in the Netherlands. “These types of contracts also exist at PSV and FC Twente, while at FC Utrecht a few girls also receive minimum wage for 40 hours a week,” Van Dongen said. “Then you have a very large group that receives 20 hours per minimum wage, so half of 2,100 euros per month.”

A minority of clubs therefore pay salaries to the players. “You still have the largest group from the right row. They do it all for an expense reimbursement. Those are the amounts you are talking about in the Azerion Eredivisie. In the top competitions such as England, Spain and France, the top players earn around half a million euros per year.” It should therefore come as no shock that Telstar lost 0-8 to Fortuna Sittard on Friday. “You cannot expect to train five times a week for zero euros and not lose 0-8.”
