Madrid (EFE).- Beatriz Álvarez Mesa, president of the F League, assured that the presentation of Panini’s album of the women’s competition, held with the presence of the Brazilian Gabi Nunes, from Madrid CFF, and Cinta Rodríguez, from Atlético de Madrid, supposes a “historical day”.
“I feel emotion for this historic day,” said Beatriz Álvarez, who added: “A few months ago, Panini and the F League joined hands to take this great step and the project is having an impact in many countries.”
Gabi Nunes, a Madrid CFF player, confessed that she was “very happy” for what she assured that “it is a great step for the growth of women’s football and what she dreamed of since she was little.”
For her part, Cinta Rodríguez, an Atlético de Madrid player, acknowledged that she collected stickers from the men’s soccer league when she was little and that she dreamed of one day making the women’s collection. “What a coincidence that I am now in that collection,” she said excitedly.
The collection, which already went on sale on March 7, has a total of 365 stickers in which only 17 members of the squad appear, despite the fact that 25 tokens per club are allowed: 16 players and their respective coach. .
Lluís Torrent, the CEO of Panini, clarified this matter: “When we signed the agreement with Beatriz at the end of last year, I didn’t think it would come out this season. In two months an extraordinary job has been done, thanks to the collaboration of the F League, but there will be no “b stickers”. In turn, he added that the criteria for selecting the players that appear in the collection “will not” be “counted.”
“We are taking many steps in a very short time thanks to partners like Panini”, assured the president of La Liga F. “In 8 months of life we have traveled a path full of milestones, but we still have many things to do. You have to build loyalty and ensure that the next collection has more circulation. We must work for visibility; they are referents, we must give them a voice”, explained Beatriz Álvarez Mesa.
Fans outside of Spain can also get their album, since the sale is available in different countries of the world, among which are: Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ecuador , Panama, Paraguay and Venezuela.
