In our country, we have been following the massification of women's soccer for many years. The entrepreneurship of Diario EL UNIVERSO with the Interbarriales, where talented players emerged, who mostly wore the Tricolor jersey, has merit. This is confirmed by Wendy Villón, who was a star in those championships and is now a coach for El Nacional.
The results have not been flattering at the level of teams and national teams internationally. Why? Serious school, college, and university competition programs are missing; figures emerge from these study centers who will go to clubs.
The provincial associations and federations, the Superliga, must plan tournaments by categories. If we draw this organizational map and provide professional athletes with a good salary, affiliation, technical teams with methodology, equipment, expedited courts, medical attention, concentrations, and everything that brings calm, it would prevent storms and complaints. Once these benchmarks are met, we will foresee achievements that will make history.
In many nations, the teams that compete fill stadiums. There are more than 30 million women who practice this sport in an organized and recreational way in the world. The United States has four World Cup titles. In Germany, Japan, Norway, Canada, Sweden, Italy, Spain, England, China, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Colombia, and many other countries, their leadership assumes prominence. FIFA contributes economic values, development programs, and courses to its 211 members.
In Ecuador, with the presence of Brazilian coach Emily Lima (hired by the FEF) leading the women's national teams, the work of national coaches will imply steps for Ecuadorian teams and national teams to be respected on the field someday.
We respect the angry voices of some players to have equality in all aspects, as enjoyed by men in professionalism. There will come days when they demonstrate on the field why they raise their voices and make requirements. With calm and serenity, one can go far.
There are truths, and we will describe them. There is no support from companies, except for exceptions; the media does not pay attention to them, which demotivates them. Incentives must be found for fans to attend. It would be interesting for the women's teams of the Superliga to play a preliminary match in the professional league football schedules. It would be fantastic.
