HISTORY WOMEN SOCCER

The impact of the entry of Real Madrid FC in the First Women's Soccer Division (Primera Iberdrola) through the purchase of the CD Tacón square - recently promoted to the competition - will mean that women's football evolves into another dimension. Clubs such as FC Barcelona, ​​Atlético de Madrid, Athletic de Bilbao, RCD Espanyol, Real Sociedad - brand new champions of the Copa de la Reina this season 2018/2019 - or the legendary Transport Alcaine de Zaragoza among others, have gradually built the position in which women's football is today, increasingly consolidated in sport. In addition, the entry of the white team in this competition will increase the impact of this in the social, economic or sports field to levels not yet quantifiable.

We go back to the end of the 70s and the beginning of the 80s, where I was crossing the bridges that connected the two banks of the old Turia riverbed, in Valencia, on any Sunday morning. There you could see numerous women's football matches that were played in the football fields of the old channel. The sidewalks of the bridges were populated by people who watched those meetings with interest. Meetings around the sport king ... and yes, around hundreds of women practicing it. 

It is a visible reality that more minutes are already offered on television for women's football in addition to the retransmissions of matches, more space in paper newspapers, more articles in digital or more impact on social networks, although there is still a long way to go To go. The creation of a multitude of women's football teams in the many neighborhoods of our cities has already begun. Competitions in all categories of grassroots football are increasingly common around girls, who with the support of federations, family and friends feel identified with this sport.

The question we should ask ourselves is whether this “boom” in women's football will require a restructuring, knowledge update and application of new work methods so that the sports and personal growth of girls who begin their career in this sport is consistent with your needs and expectations; I say yes.
