Irene Paredes, captain of Spain's women's football team, notes that attitudes have shifted positively since their 2023 World Cup win. Paredes emphasizes ongoing efforts to normalize women's football in Spain, declaring that many societal barriers have been broken since the victory. The team has also expressed enjoyment in the improved conditions while preparing for a European Championship final against England. Meanwhile, the legacy of a controversial incident involving the former Spanish FA president continues to impact discussions about the sport's future in the country.
"I think that way of thinking is disappearing from society. I still think we have to keep opening doors, normalising situations that are becoming more and more normal and that have to be normal."
"At that time, after that press conference, with the victory, a lot of walls came down. We are role models for more and more children, for everyone in society."
