The year 2023, an exciting year for women’s soccer, focuses our attention on the World Cup. However, it is essential that we contemplate diversity, or rather the lack of it, in this sport. Representation of black and Latina women is alarmingly low, a grim reality that does not reflect the vibrant heterogeneity of the fans and the communities they serve.

El Impacto de la Desigualdad Étnica en el Crecimiento de las Jóvenes Futbolistas Negras y Latinas
Ethnic inequality plays an undeniable role in the growth of young black and Latina soccer players. Invisible barriers arise at every stage, from childhood to their professional careers.
Lack of opportunities and resources is often the first obstacle. The disadvantaged areas, where many of these young women reside, lack adequate facilities to practice and hone their skills.
During recruitment, racial bias and stereotyping contribute to the dearth of opportunities for black and Latina girls. They are often overlooked by headhunters who underestimate their potential based on ingrained prejudices.
In addition, the lack of representation at the highest levels of the sport sends a discouraging message. Black and Latino faces are scarce on elite teams, which could lead young girls to question their place in soccer.
Talent does not recognize skin color or origin. But opportunity and access, those are the real battles.
