A star-studded extravaganza saw England women's football coach Wegmann honored with the glittering Women's Football Coach of the Year award on UEFA's awards night.
In the moment of the award, Wegman's heart surged not only with joy, but also with deep emotion about the recent turmoil that has taken place in Spanish women's soccer circles. She spoke out firmly, conveying silent support.
"As a coach, a mother of two daughters, a wife, and a woman, this is all deeply distressing to me. It reveals that women's soccer and society as a whole has a long way to go." Wegman's voice reveals a heaviness.
She pinned the honor on the World Cup, paying tribute to the Spanish women's football team: "I would like to dedicate this award to the Spanish team, whose soccer, like a work of art, is mesmerizing. They deserve to be praised and listened to. May you join me once again in applauding them."
