Uruguay Women’s Team Threatens Copa América Boycott Over Conditions
Uruguay’s women’s national football team is refusing to train ahead of the Copa América Femenina, citing poor treatment, lack of funding, and inadequate facilities.
The players released a unified statement, declaring:
“We want to represent Uruguay in the Copa América, but we also deserve dignified treatment for our effort and dedication.”
The team is demanding better medical care, travel support, and basic professional standards. The national football federation (AUF) has acknowledged the dispute but has not yet agreed to changes.
Uruguay’s opening match is scheduled for next week, leaving little time for a resolution.
