Lazio Women and Maja Gothberg.
After a Court of Arbitration for Sport ruling.
Lazio Women have been ordered to compensate former midfielder Maja Gothberg after CAS found the club unlawfully ended her employment because of pregnancy. The ruling also awarded moral damages and cited disclosure of confidential pregnancy information.
FIFPro called the case groundbreaking because it reinforces maternity protections even where contract terms were not fully formalised. Gothberg said pregnancy should never be treated as a problem or reason to deny labour opportunities in football.
