Briefly

Luna Roque's transformative experience at a Tigres Femenil game shifted her aspirations from becoming an influencer to training as a professional soccer player, showcasing how sport can inspire youth to pursue new dreams.
The Tigres Femenil exemplifies the impact of women's soccer in Mexico, winning numerous titles and redefining female role models through athleticism and empowerment, contrasting sharply with traditional Mexican beauty standards.
Local journalist Carolina Solís highlights the difference between typical influencers and soccer players, stating that the standard influencer image is that of light-skinned, wealthy women, while female athletes are empowering and rebrand femininity through sports.
The rise of female athletes not only attracts millions of social media followers but also challenges long-standing gender norms in Mexico, shifting perceptions of femininity towards strength and skill.
