In her video, Gálvez remarked sarcastically about the donation, suggesting that Sheinbaum could share the ticket with her husband. She implied that the president might be apprehensive about public reaction, saying, “will she be afraid of the boos?” This statement highlights the ongoing tension between the two political figures.
Details of Sheinbaum’s Announcement
On a recent Monday, Claudia Sheinbaum shared details about her donation. She plans to give her ticket to a young girl or female football fan who cannot afford to attend the event. During a press conference, she stated that the aim of this gesture is to empower and encourage women and girls interested in sports, a field traditionally dominated by men.
Sheinbaum expressed her hope that the ticket would help inspire the next generation of female athletes. She emphasized the importance of providing opportunities to those who may not have the financial means to experience such significant events.
Inspiration for Future Generations
The president also mentioned that the selection process for the recipient is still being developed. Sheinbaum’s initiative aims to create visibility for women’s sports and support young girls in pursuing their dreams in football.
These developments occur as preparations for the 2026 World Cup are underway, with Mexico hosting the inaugural match. The spotlight is currently on Sheinbaum, who will lead the ceremonial events for this major international tournament.
