Fútbol femenino, compitiendo por un crecimiento sostenido.

Abstract

The female gender has struggled for years for equal treatment in our country and has yielded good results in several sectors where women managed to occupy positions that were previously exclusive for men and receive equal or even higher economic remuneration. This scenario is not experienced in women's soccer in Ecuador, where clubs manage to survive and where players cry out for more opportunities to develop their talent. The Ecuadorian Football Federation (Federación Ecuatoriana de Fútbol) allocates an annual budget for the organization of the Women's National Championship, but this is not enough to achieve the professionalization of women's football. Sponsors do not want to invest because they do not see results promoting their brands during matches. The players relate their experiences and request changes to make the tournament more competitive and of a higher level.
