We closed the interviews of the Week of Women with the figure of women in the world of sports. For this we speak with the xabiera, Sandra Castelló, who after playing for about six at the Jávea school, had to continue practicing his passion with Levante, "I was from 6 to 12 years in Jávea, but when I reached that age, which was the limit to play with children I started playing with Levante, starting in the category of Second Regional until reaching the maximum category, currently called Women's First Division. Also, in the 2013- 2014 season, I signed for Sporting Puerto de Huelva, where I still play today in the First Division ", says Castelló.

For Sandra, since her career was framed in women's football "I have seen how it has grown in several aspects. Today, there are more women who practice this sport, in fact there are many teams that encourage this practice from very early ages, forming fully feminine base teams to learn and enjoy doing what they like it more ".

La xabiera highlights other advances at the level of support and sponsors, "This aspect also shows great changes, as well as the retransmission of matches, large companies supporting the women's league, facilities of the men's sections of the clubs towards the women's (transfer of stadiums, for example)."

Castelló comments to this medium that in these years there has been a growth in the number of fans, both men and women, who come to watch the games or who follow the results of the women's matches.

On the experience before the inequality, Castelló emphasizes that being small "I have never experienced any discrimination, but as I have been growing I have felt many differences between women's football and men's football, such as facilities, institutional support, sponsors and salary."

Our protagonist today says that she personally believes that the greatest inequality existing within sport and specifically in football is "The social and economic recognition of the same milestones as winning a World Cup. I hope that in the next few years the differences in football will be less and women's football will grow to match the men's, making fans see that football is a sport of everyone".

Looking ahead, with the vision of equality, Sandra indicates that although there are fewer and fewer differences "Since women's football is growing by leaps and bounds, much of society is not aware that a soccer player can practice the same or better sport than a man."
