Claudia Sheinbaum has said she gave her ticket to Mexico’s opening World Cup game to a young female soccer fan
Let’s hope we see Sheinbaum bring this energy to the World Cup next year in Brazil:
Announcing the contest in March, Sheinbaum framed it as a way to empower young women in the sport. “For many years, doors were closed to us – preventing us from becoming referees, soccer players, commentators or sports hosts,” she said at a news conference. “Today, we want to open those doors to women and their rights, so they can be whatever they want to be and have every opportunity to achieve it.”
