Despite all odds, the young women of the female ‘tricolor’ have managed to shut up mouths even the same leaders, who did not believe much in what the soccer players could do in this tournament, according to journalist Iván Mejía.
In fact, one of those who was most criticized for his lack of support was the president of the Colombian Football Federation (FCF), Ramón Jesurún, who, when asked about the awards given to these players He assured that there was no type of incentive because, according to him, they are still ‘amateurs’, although later he clarified what he said and he settled down assuring that there will be economic recognition.
