Success of Executive Box 0 "Pioneers for Life" at La Cartuja

The women who paved the way for equality here in Spain were honoured and given visibility at the UEFA Women's Nations League final

The "Pioneers for Life", our mothers and our mothers' mothers, whose struggles and efforts managed to pave the way for equality, were the protagonists of the Executive Box 0 organised by the RFEF at the La Cartuja Stadium in Seville, on the occasion of the UEFA Women's Nations League final.

The Department of Equality, Social Responsibility and Sustainability initiative sought to make the work of the pioneers in the fight for women's rights more visible; work that the RFEF wanted to pay homage to in view of the approaching 8 March International Women’s Day and the great successes that our players are achieving with the national team.

40 anonymous representatives of this silent generation to whom society owes so much admiration and respect watched the match in the executive box set aside especially for them. Proud grandmothers of today's society, who see how the women of today are reaping the fruits of the fight of the women who preceded them, were thrilled by the match and enjoyed the performances of these "girls, because they are very young", as one of the forty people said.

 

This Executive Box 0 was the continuation of a series of events that had begun the day before, with the Meet & Greet with the players, and which continued with the presence on the pitch of one of them, carrying the ball out with the players and match officials.

 

 

They thus joined in with a great party that ended with another title for the Spanish National Football Team and with the breaking of another of those "glass ceilings" that had existed in our sport: a new record number of people attending a match of our national team, that of the 32,657 people who got La Cartuja bouncing.
