“With the support of the F7 Women’s Leagues, we successfully completed the ‘Meet the World with SKF’ tournament, which is an exhibition showcase to promote the sports talent of girls, as well as diversity and equal opportunities for all and all” , expressed Alonso Portocarrero, SKF Director of Operations for Peru and Chile.

For her part, Mariela Drago, General Manager of F7 Women’s Leagues, highlighted “We are very happy to produce the Meet the World Cup with SKF for the fourth consecutive year and continue to support the development of women’s football, giving girls the opportunity to participate in such an important international event.
