“Of course I am happy and proud of having been recognized by my colleagues and of guaranteeing a place in the FIFPro eleven of the year. But at the same time, I can’t help but be surprised to be selected, since I haven’t played since March “, the player began her explanation.
“There are so many fantastic players around the world who deserve to be recognized. Even so, my entry into this eleven is one more sign that we must continue to bet on women’s football, so that more and more matches are broadcast on television and, thus , more athletes begin to be recognized “, was Rapinoe’s final message, as a reflection on what still needs to be done in women’s football.
