There are less than four months left before the start of the 2022 Conmebol Copa América Femenina, which will take place in Colombia.
As part of the controversial calls made by coach Nelson Abadía in which he did not recently include Leicy Santos, Natalia Gaitan, Vanessa Córdoba and Isabella Echeverri in the preparatory cycle for the continental championship, Santander striker Hazleydi Yoreli Rincón spoke this Friday, March 18 to talk about women's football in Colombia and try to explain their absence from the tricolor team.
In a dialogue with the program Blog Deportivo on Blu Radio, the 28-year-old player who plays in the Italian Serie A Sampdoria, gave details about her absence from the Colombian National Team and the veto that she says was imposed on her, apparently because of the various protests she participated in to show and denounce the injustices they live in women in Colombian professional football.
The champion of the Liga Águila 2018 and the Copa Conmebol Libertadores 2018 with Atlético Huila has participated in four World Cups with Colombia and has been runner-up in two of three editions of the Copa América that she has played. However, her sports records do not seem to be worthy enough to be summoned by the tricolor coaching staff, since she has not had minutes for four:
Rincón said that since 2018 she has not received any message from the Colombian Football Federation (FCF) or the coaching bodies that have passed through the national team, but that she is satisfied to see that her protest left the fruits ready to be collected in the new generations of Colombian women's football.
After improving the conditions of the professional athletes of the clubs affiliated to Dimayor, Rincón Torres welcomes the fact that the league for women is no longer a month and a half, but that it reaches almost four months of competition, so that the players have the opportunity to grow and exercise their trade in the face of a possible international transfer.

In mid-February of this year, Colombia faced Argentina twice, first in Cali and then in Bucaramanga. In the press conferences leading up to the two games, coach Nelson Abadía defended himself and assured that in the selection there are no vetoes of any kind for coffee athletes. These were his words to public opinion:
However, Yoreli has been forceful with Abadía and after hearing these statements from the Colombian DT, he posted a brief comment on his Twitter account questioning what the national strategist said:
