背景：女子足球正在成为世界范围内越来越受欢迎的女子团队运动项目。波兰足协女子足球委员会制定了一项长期战略计划，以在全国范围内普及这项运动并提高女孩的参与度。一方面，应该增加女足球运动员的数量，另一方面，减少过早退出足球的女孩数量也至关重要。目的：找出女足球运动员运动生涯终止的原因。设计：横断面，包含有关职业终止原因的回顾性信息。设置：通过在线访问填写在线调查问卷。参与者：93 名前女足球运动员。主要结果指标：导致职业终止的因素。方法：参与者完成在线调查问卷。分析分为两组：“受伤组”——受伤是退出足球的主要原因；“其他组”——女球员由于所有其他因素而停止踢球。结果：百分之三十的前波兰女足球运动员因长期受伤治疗而终止了职业生涯。超过 27% (27.7%) 的女性因为无法兼顾运动与工作/学习而结束了自己的职业生涯。超过 10% (10.8%) 的前足球运动员表示，成为妻子和/或母亲是职业生涯终止的原因。 9.2%（n = 6）的本研究参与者表示，他们失去了对这项运动的动力和兴趣，他们因非伤害原因决定终止职业生涯。结论：结果清楚地表明，需要付出更多努力来支持女足球运动员，尤其是在受伤后，以免她们自愿退出这项运动。
Context: Female football is becoming an increasingly popular women's team sports discipline around the world. The Women's Football Committee in the Polish Football Association has developed a long-term strategic plan to popularize the discipline across the country and enhance girls' participation. On one hand, it is postulated to increase the number of female footballers, and on the other hand, it is crucial to decrease the number of girls quitting football prematurely. Objective: To find the reasons for sports career termination among female football players. Design: Cross-sectional with retrospective information about reasons of career termination. Setting: Online questionnaire was filled out by online access. Participants: Ninety-three former female footballers. Main Outcome Measures: Factors leading to career termination. Methods: Participants completed the online questionnaire. The analysis was performed referring to 2 groups: "injury group"-in which the injury was the main reason for quitting football, and "other group"-in which the female player stopped playing football due to all other factors. Results: Thirty percent of former Polish female football players terminated their career due to a long-term treatment for an injury. Over 27% (27.7%) females had ended their careers because they were not able to reconcile sports with work/studying. Over 10% (10.8%) of former football players reported that becoming a wife and/or mother was the reason for career termination. Losing motivation and interest in the sport was reported by 9.2% (n = 6) of present study participants who decided to terminate the career due to noninjury reasons. Conclusions: The results clearly show that more effort is needed to support female football players, especially after an injury, so that they do not quit the sport voluntarily.
