Melissa Camacho, a Girls United FA Mexico player, featured in Adidas' blog following an interview at the record breaking Equal Playing Field event.
We met with so many girls who had no real opportunities to practice sports and who faced harassment in their societies for wanting to play. We listened to their stories and we boosted their confidence on and off the pitch.
One of the many girls I spoke with was Melissa Camacho from the team Las Chicas Unidas in Mexico: ‘We do not have the same opportunities as the boys do. And here we all fight together for changing that. With real impact. It’s an honor to be here.’
