AEK maternity support for women's volleyball

Overview

AEK Amateur Club has introduced permanent maternity protection measures for its women's volleyball team to ensure professional stability for pregnant athletes. The policy includes the automatic annual renewal of contracts for players who become pregnant during their final contract year.

The club is also establishing a maternity allowance to be paid throughout pregnancy and the subsequent period of absence from competition. To further support athletes who may not return to competitive play after one year, the club is offering potential positions within the team staff.

These measures follow the pregnancy of international athlete Evita Xintara, whose contract was renewed by the club. Executive Director Nikos Pantermalis noted that the initiative aims to address gaps in amateur sports where pregnancy often leads to contract termination.
