Female Footballer Divulges the Inequalities in the Football-Crazed Nation of Brazil

Claiming more World Cup titles than any other country, football is an indispensable facet of its diverse society.

The sport has many steps to take before it can catch up to the level it is practiced at for men. Brazilian international player Aline Pellegrino deplores these inequities and succinctly elaborates on her active front to ignite the women’s soccer movement in an article in Public Radio International.
