Spain's women's national football team transformed from underdogs to title contenders in less than a decade. The journey involved fighting for better coaching, travel conditions, and training facilities. This effort culminated in a World Cup title in 2023 and a Nations League win the previous year. Former player Marta Torrejon emphasized the ongoing struggle for acceptable work conditions throughout her career, which evolved significantly over time. She advocated for team improvements after the 2015 World Cup, including the removal of a long-serving coach who faced allegations of verbal abuse.
The national team has had to fight for better coaching, decent travel conditions, and modern training facilities, which resulted in a World Cup title in 2023.
Marta Torrejon expressed that it was a constant struggle for acceptable work conditions for the players to perform their best on the national team.
After the 2015 World Cup, Torrejon and other players successfully pushed for the removal of coach Ignacio Quereda due to his poor preparation and alleged verbal abuse.
Torrejon, Spain's most-capped player before retiring, has since contributed to Barcelona's success, winning three Champions League titles.
