One of the athletes opened the game and stated that Athletico only maintained the category by obligation because it is required to compete in international championships.

" We know that the Athletico, internally, never liked the female, always had to like having the feminine and really support the cause is something else. Athletico is a macho club, Petraglia does not like the female", he said in a condition of anonymity.

Another interviewee also states that Petraglia only keeps the female due to obligation: "the justification was spending cuts, but female football is the cheapest part of Athletico".

In case the main male cast of Athletico rises to the The one in 2025, we'll have to reassemble the female again. And for management this is a positive point, because, according to them, it can reassemble a cheaper female cast.

Journalist Vincenzo Dalicani, who closely follows the day to day of the Athletic said: "It's never about football, the sports project. It's to keep your pocket full. To close 2024, the year of the athletic lamentation. Unbelievable."
