Women's football makes its way and is consolidated in El Poble Nou de Benitatxell. The Municipal School of Grassroots Football has created a team made up entirely of girls from the Children's category (12 and 13 years old), with Carmen Torres from Poblera as coach.
The initiative came from several girls from the school, who began to mobilize so that this team could be formed. “It was they who began to move to look for more interested girls to complement the team. It seemed like a great idea to us and we began to contact the schools in the municipality and surrounding areas so that they could make this project available to all families”, explained the director of the football school, Celso Alcázar.
The team already has 12 players, but they hope to incorporate more members, at least 16, in order to play in the Valencian Football Federation's Liga Autonómica Valenta.
From the Department of Sports they make an appeal. "We encourage all girls with a passion for football and team sports to join this wonderful project," said the Councilor for Sports, Toni Colomer.
For its part, the mayor, Miguel Ángel García, has stated that the team has the full support of the City Council and has stated that the intention, if there is participation and commitment, is to give continuity to the initiative. "We would like the girls from El Poble Nou de Benitatxell to have the opportunity to continue playing in higher categories and that after Children they continue in Cadet, Juvenile and finally, to be able to have a female Amateur team".
