Lazio Women to pay compensation after landmark Cas pregnancy discrimination ruling

The Italian club Lazio Women has been ordered to pay compensation after losing a landmark case at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) regarding pregnancy discrimination. Swedish footballer Maja Göthberg's contract was unlawfully terminated when she disclosed her pregnancy, marking the first successful case under FIFA's updated maternity regulations. This ruling underscores the importance of protecting pregnant athletes and sets a precedent for future cases, highlighting the need for strict enforcement of anti-discrimination policies in sports.
