Análisis fenomenológico del fútbol femenino como mecanismo comunicativo de reivindicación y de género, desde las experiencias relatadas por futbolistas profesionales de los equipos del deportivo Cali y el América de Cali, durante el período 2022-1

Abstract

When talking about housework, people who have not opened their minds to the new reality relate it directly to the female gender, this being one of the greatest proofs that women have always been relegated to it, but, Over the years, it has managed to contradict this thinking guided by the sexist perspective based on the integration of the female figure in spaces that were previously believed to be exclusive for men. Throughout history, women have had to constantly fight against society and the prohibitions that have been imposed on them to be able to carry out various tasks, in this case playing soccer and although in 2010 women's soccer began to to be structured professionally in some countries of the world, in Colombia it took a couple of years. The path of women's soccer in Colombia has been arduous for the players, who have had to face sexist comments, work contracts that do not fill their pockets, divide their time and even give up their dream of becoming professional soccer players. With the stories collected from interviews with players from the América de Cali and Deportivo Cali teams, it was possible to take evidence of the reality of women's soccer in Colombia regarding salaries, schedules, contracts and sports rights, etc. In accordance with the above, the sources allowed this research project to expose the resistance that women who dedicate their lives to soccer have faced and the inequality that exists between women's professional soccer and men's professional soccer. It was also possible to understand how communication is present in sports spaces through non-verbal communication, such as looks, gestures and signs, in order to allow the use of strategies that allow one to overcome the rival on the playing field, as well as Body communication was also evident, where the players identified that their body communicates femininity from different perspectives, whether from their physique, their personality or the accessories they wear on the court. This project allows us to understand the situation that women's soccer is experiencing in Colombia and how communication has made it possible to little by little establish better implementation structures and positive perspectives towards society.
