CHANGES AND
MILESTONES

Over the years, the project has been gaining prominence, causing impact and creating new logics for the community, which has led to significant implications for the people living in the area, the LGTBIQ+ people and the feminist movement as a whole.

Consolidation of a place of reference

Succeeding in getting a regular place and regular times for training on the most iconic field (Güemes) represents the pinnacle of collective strategies aimed at fighting against stereotypes and prejudices related to a sport and a space that historically belonged to men.

Creation of a stable football team

In 2009, we took part in “Liga de Fútbol para la inclusion social” (“Football League for Social Inclusion”). In 2010, 2011 and 2012, we participated in the Homeless World Cup held in Rio de Janeiro, Paris and Mexico D.F. We also took part in the Beyond (B)orders Festival in Berlin in 2015 and Equal Playing Field in Lyon in 2019, among other tournaments and competitions in the region and in our country.

Group empowerment

The workshop has contributed to the personal and intersubjective growth of the participants in such a way that they have embraced it as a place where they can create new languages, bonds and identities, processes in which they have developed a leading and autonomous role.

La Nuestra as a seedbed of players

The consolidation of football practice, both territorially and symbolically, has boosted a seedbed for players. Therefore, around 60 girls and 30 teenagers have been participating in football practice and competitions specially designed for them.

“Fútbol para todas” (Football for Everyone) Tournament

In 2014, the players organized this tournament completely on their own at the historic field called Güemes. So, working together, they managed to overcome the individualistic, sexist and opportunist dynamics that had monopolized the community tournaments until then.

“Mi Juego, mi Revolución” (My Game, My Revolution) One-day Tournaments

We’ve been holding one-day tournaments on our field since 2015, therefore solidifying the creation of networks and meeting points aimed at strengthening this sport activity and expanding it through meetings, discussions and debates.

All the organization processes are carried out by women and LGBTIQ+ people, therefore fostering the leadership of local girls and young women.
