Football has always been considered the ‘King of Sports’, since it has caused a great impact on society in different areas: social, economic, political, and more. This sporting discipline brings together families, friends and neighbors, like no other discipline, to participate in the spectacle that the players perform on the field. Women after the ball
Over time, soccer has seen significant growth and has given way to inclusion, since this sport was only practiced by men, but today this is not the case, more and more women are behind the ball demonstrating their ability and passion for this sport. They have made significant progress and left stigma and discrimination for simply having an affinity for a discipline like any other.
Cristian Zabala, president of the Chambo Cantonal Sports League, said that at the province level, women’s soccer has gained strength, since participation in different competitions has been seen. Zabala noted that women have no difference with men, they have the same capacity and adequate performance. Furthermore, he stressed that before this sport practiced by women was criticized, since since the beginning of this sport men wanted to have the leading role. “Ninety percent of soccer in the province has women practicing this discipline, so it is gaining more and more strength.”
Women who are part of the training
Approximately 14 women, ages 9 to 16, train at the soccer school. The support for the girls,” I think we are doing a good job and all the support goes to the girls since they are very responsible, the women are much more disciplined, and they work in camaraderie, we don’t see much selfishness, which happens a lot. With men, women try to support each other, that is a strength that they rise to the level quickly,” Zabala highlighted.
In addition, her daughter, Ariana Zabala, 13, started playing soccer since the pandemic, so that she could practice some activity due to the stress at that time. Likewise, the soccer school opened its doors at that time, as an opportune space, “there was stress in the house due to confinement, so several girls ventured into soccer not for the pleasure, but to do some physical activity.” However, as time went by and the training sessions became more fond of this discipline, it became known. In training they are more constant and give seriousness to the case. Zabala emphasized that in the future they be taken into account exclusively as a tournament team for women so that their preparation and the sacrifice of the athletes are evident.
Lady Guanoluisa, a young woman, said that she thinks it is very good, there are very talented girls and that there are more representatives of women’s soccer in the province. In this regard, Geomara Montero indicated that she does not like playing this sport, but she supports that they enjoy soccer and practice it without taking into account what they will say. For 16-year-old Génesis López, although she does not play, those who practice know more about this discipline that is very popular, “both men and women are good.”
