Herencia is preparing to pay tribute to the Women’s Soccer Team, World Champions, by awarding them the Institutional Perlé during the Carnival Inauguration Gala. This recognition not only celebrates the team’s athletic achievement in the 2023 World Cup held in Australia and New Zealand, but also highlights their contribution to the fight for women’s rights and the promotion of equality in sports.
The City Council of Herencia wanted to recognize the extraordinary trajectory of a team that has become a true example of overcoming barriers and effort, highlighting their fight against historical barriers that have limited the visibility and development of women in sports. The awarding of the Institutional Perlé, a distinction made exclusively by the Carnival Commission, symbolizes the community’s recognition of the players and coaching staff, who will be represented at the gala.
Sergio García-Navas Corrales, Mayor of Herencia, has expressed his admiration and respect for the champions, stating that “they, along with their coaching staff, deserve all the recognition from a country that has vibrated with one of the most important triumphs achieved by our athletes.” It is a way of recognizing not only their sporting success, but also the social and cultural impact that this victory represents for gender equality in sports and beyond.
The Institutional Perlé is a symbol of honor and recognition that Herencia reserves for those who have contributed significantly to society, and on this occasion, the Women’s Soccer Team embodies the values that the municipality wishes to celebrate. Their triumph in the World Cup is not only a sporting victory, but also a milestone in the history of the fight for women’s equality in all areas of life.
This tribute during the Carnival, Herencia’s major celebration, highlights how sports and culture can converge to celebrate achievements and promote a message of equality and social justice. Friday’s gala will undoubtedly be an emotional and highly significant moment for the town, the honored athletes, and all attendees, setting a precedent in the way women’s efforts and determination are recognized and valued in sports and society.
