The Growing Influence of Women’s Sports in Spain: Spotlighting the Soccer World Cup 2023

The achievement of Soccer World Cup 2023 has once again highlighted the power that women’s sports have in our country. The triumph of Aitana Bonmatí, Jenni Hermoso, Olga Carmona and company not only must it be valued as a sporting success as such, but it is about one more step in the historic struggle of women for equality. Before, it was frowned upon for girls to play soccer in the yard. Now, they win World Cups.

More and more Spanish athletes are achieving achievements in international competitions. The handball ‘warriors’, the women’s basketball team, Carolina Marín in badminton, the karateka Sandra Sánchez or the canoeist Maialen Chourraut are good examples of recent years. But there is still a long way to go.

Focusing on football, little by little we see progress. And although the television networks occasionally report on the women’s league, the headlines and covers are still taken by men. In this sense, by the way, it is fair to recognize the public service work that Televisión Española has been doing to make women’s football visible.

One of those advances that we are seeing in favor of women’s football can be found in The beach barthe gathering that presents every night Joseph Pedrerol in MEGA. yes, in The beach bar. The Catalan presenter He has surrounded himself with women to talk about the controversial kiss that Luis Rubiales gave Jenni Hermoso at the trophy delivery ceremony at the World Cup.

If Pedrerol stands out for something, in addition to being a television animal that perfectly controls the times, it is because understand very well the feeling of society. And he has reflected this in recent days on her program, where he has not had any shame in acknowledging that he did not see the seriousness of what happened with Rubiales, but also for giving women a greater presence.

Much has been criticized The beach bar in recent years because the writing team is made up mostly of men. Pedrerol has succeeded when it comes to give voice to women journalists to talk about a matter that concerns them in a gathering that is almost always monopolized by Tomás Roncero, Cristóbal Soria, Lobo Carrasco, Petón or José Luis Sánchez.

Beyond Carme Barcelo or Cristina Cubero (Return to The beach bar just a year ago, five years after his disagreement with Pedrerol) as historical gatherings, the role of women in the program was only to be in charge of reading the messages that viewers wrote on social networks. Irene Junquera, Laura Gadea, Sandra Diaz they were in charge in the past, while now, that role, has it Ana Garcés

The list of collaborators has been increasing in recent times. The Antena 3 sports presenters, Rocío Burgos and Angie Rigueiro they happened to have a chair on an occasional basis on the show. The same thing happened with Carmen Colino, From the newspaper AS. And in recent days, journalists from laSexta have also attended Andrea Segura and Elisa Lasso.

So, this same Monday, the viewers of The beach bar They saw an interesting debate on the matter, in which feminist discourses were presented. “Why have so many women had to put up with having our asses touched at the disco and we haven’t been able to say anything? Why have we had to put up with having a superior rub your waist?”Rigueiro wondered.

In addition, Carmen Colino opined the following: “As a citizen and as a woman, the term sexual assault in the kiss concept is very strong. Perhaps another qualifier should be put, that it is very wrong, that it is punishable, that it is reportable and that You have to judge it, yes. But we understand sexual assault as something else.” “They are going to sentence you according to the crime you commit. What this case is assuming andIt is an example of what many women have to go through in their working life and it is being exemplified by this case”assured Andrea Segura.

And Isa Romero, the journalist sent to Motril, showed himself on the same line this Tuesday. “Sadly, women have normalized these situations so much that when they happen you are not aware of how serious it is”said while Carme Barceló pointed out that “Thanks to the Rubiales case, many people who have been through this will feel stronger to say so.”

So things, The challenge for Josep Pedrerol is whether he will continue to give women a voice when the Rubiales case expires. For now, the Catalan communicator has given voice to feminist discourses and concepts that serve to appease the most macho attitudes and thus raise awareness among his audience, mostly made up of men.
