"It's about opening up the pages for Latina women - women of colour - to come over and get a foundation of what football culture is like," said Valencia. "To bring that back to the US is really what the basis of us and our partnership with Watford is."
Reyes, a Latina woman herself, said "inclusion was important" and young Latina girls are "just as passionate" about playing football as anyone else. "We're embarrassingly underrepresented as coaches. That's the opportunity that we want to create," she added.
"They are excited about participating in this. It creates opportunity for both and growth for both," Reyes explained, emphasizing the mutual benefits of the collaboration between Sound of Gol and Watford.
