This is Sheila García, who has not signed the statement either and did not attend the World Cup due to injury:
«After the criticism and opinions that have been made about me for the decision not to sign the statement that many colleagues have signed, I want to clarify first of all that, I am a woman and I will always be on the side of the defense of women and their rights and recognitions.
I stand on the side of Jenni and my teammates but I want to say that I feel that defending my colors, my country and wearing the national team’s shirt is above the people who at any given moment govern, direct or manage the federation, FIFA or any other organism on which we depend.
It is a deep feeling of mine that I feel for my country and my team and my colors.
I understand that defending my rights, those of my colleagues and other women who may feel represented is not at odds with wearing or refusing to wear my flag, I firmly believe that they can be defended with the same force without having to deny my team.
I want you to respect my feelings and the way in which I believe I should support my colleagues just as I respect and understand the way in which everyone wants to do so.
“All my support to Jenni and my colleagues”

“We feel passionate about our job, that of being footballers, many of them didn’t even imagine it. They also didn’t think that we would play in a full Camp Nou or that we would break attendance records twice, or that we would win what we have won as we have won.
These days we have seen it with the serious situation that we are experiencing with the RFEF and the changes that we are requesting so that no woman, both inside and outside of football, never again has to experience situations like lack of respect or abuse.
We need consensus, courage and leadership from the institutions please, and that is why we will not stop here, we will join those who have fought before us, we will join together for the effort we make every day and we will join all the girls and boys who today dream of being like us. “We will not fail you, long live women’s sport and long live Barça.”
We are here to stay, to help those who will come because there is still a long way to go.15:43
