While the Argentine men’s team She leads the FIFA ranking and is the current world champion after winning Qatar 2022 and has brought important sponsors, her women’s representative goes through different conditions to the extent of only receiving “a sandwich and a banana” as food.

This movement reminds us of the departure of Estefania Baniniplayer of the Atlético de Madrid and considered the best Argentine soccer player of all time, who at the time decided to no longer wear the shirt, although without mentioning specific reasons.

“Matter of time. Thank you for daring to speak,” the member of the Spanish team wrote on the social network X.

Goalkeeper Laurina Oliveros, defender Julieta Cruz and midfielder Lorena Benítezwho are starters in Germán Portanova’s team, made their departure official and will not be in the friendly duel that the albiceleste will have against Costa Rica.

“There comes a point when injustices are tiring, when it is tiring not to be valued, not to be listened to and even worse to be humiliated,” Cruz expressed on his Instagram account. “Improvements are needed in the Argentine women’s soccer team and I’m not just talking about economics, I’m talking about training and having lunch, breakfast.”

“At the end of training we received a ham and cheese sandwich with a banana,” the players indicated.

They also denounced that they do not have great financial support from the AFA, who will not provide travel expenses to the selected players after arguing that the match will be in Buenos Aires, while the players’ families will be charged for access if they wish. watch the game
