Contrary to what happens in men’s football, where the outing of the Cagliari player Jakub Jankto still causes discussion, in women’s football certain discourses have long since passed, and there are no taboos regarding people’s sexual orientation.
Thus, after the first day of the women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, the local and Brazilian media published a ‘report’ according to which compared to the 2019 edition of the women’s world championship tournament, the number of players who publicly declared their belonging to the Lgbtq+ community went from 38 to 87, therefore more than doubled. The national team that has the most is Brazil, with 9, namely Marta, Tamires (whose partner is the singer Gabi Fernandes), Andressa Alves, Letícia, Lauren, Kathellen, Debinha, Geyse and Adriana.
Australia and Ireland, who faced each other yesterday, instead have 8 heads, while in the USA the one who has been a symbol of the rainbow community and a champion of the fight against all forms of discrimination plays in the USA, namely Megan Rapinoe, 38 years old, Ballon d’Or winner in 2019, 2 World Cups and an Olympic gold (in 2012) won, who intends to leave the competitive activity at the end of the year to devote herself full-time to activism.
