The players of the Women's Maritime Orientation achieved a historic milestone last weekend. The club achieved promotion to the Second RFEF, the third highest national category of women's football in Spain. The players finished the season as runners-up in the Canary Islands group of the Third RFEF.
The player Giada Lecca, one of the members of the women's team, has conveyed this achievement to La Voz. In an interview, she stated that for four seasons they have managed to move up a category on two occasions.
The next competitions that the women's team will have to attend will be at the national level, since until now they only competed with other clubs on the islands.
The Maritime Orientation achieves promotion to a category that currently has two competition groups. From now on they will be able to play with other clubs from other Spanish cities and not only from the archipelago.
In addition, they have highlighted that it is the "only football team from Lanzarote" to compete, until now, in the highest categories.
On the other hand, Lecca wanted to remember in La Voz the "difficulties of visibility" that a women's football team has to face compared to a men's team. "As is already known, women's football is two steps behind men's football," she said.
"For any issue, even if it is less important, there is immense publicity for being men or children," she stressed, and added that "the institutions do not give as much publicity to their women's football team."
