Estefania Banini out of the Argentine women's team
The Argentine captain Estefanía Banini responded through her Instagram account to the non-call for the Pan American Games. The number 10 of the Argentine women's team attacked her coach Carlos Borrello.
Faced with this, it was known that other women will be out of the list for the Pan American Games. There are some journalistic media that highlighted the inclination of the women of the selection to be pro-abortion in Argentina. Although the decision to leave her and other players out is not officially known, many believe that it was because of this type of support for something that the government would radically oppose.
The list of Argentine players who were called up are the following:
It should be noted that the names of some soccer players who performed in France 2019, such as Gabriela Garton, Lorena Benítez, Ruth "Chule" Bravo and Belén Potassa, are not on the preliminary list. In addition to Estefanía Banini who showed her disagreement.
No rest, no injuries, no permits from my club!! You win enough to be in the selection! Since I was 5 years old training to defend the blue and white! Fighting from my place for equality without discrimination! The coaching staff decided to leave me out. They who are the only ones who charge, they who have decided to put an end to my dream of defending the most beautiful 🇦🇷 because they have differences! The reason for this is very simple. We spoke with the entire team that traveled to the World Cup, since we think that they are not up to what we are aiming for! We want the real growth of women's football, we want to be at the height of the powers! Furthermore, we want trained people with enough experience to learn from them and not that when we go out to play they tell us "we defend ourselves because I don't want to eat 11 again" There are plenty of examples like that, and they are unfortunate! Tears in my eyes and a broken heart but always with my head held high and calm for having been consistent with what I said in that talk. I feel sorry because I expected everyone to fight in the same way, but I understand that perhaps the beautiful feeling of defending her won them over, perhaps sometimes to grow you have to resign! Proud of those who did! How long do we have before we all say we are not going to the White House and do what is said? 🤔 (words from Megan Rapinoe captain of the world champion team). Thank you friends, family and you for supporting me! Thank you, Argentina, for teaching me the passion! I will continue fighting because I love you Argentina GO ARGENTINA, GO MY SELECTION!
