Biography of Argentinean women soccer star Macarena Sánchez who plays as a striker for San Lorenzo.
A self-described "football feminist", Sánchez has been active in trying to change the women's game from an unfunded forgotten amateur sport to a fully professional one.
In January 2019, Sánchez was let go by UAI Urquiza before the official start of pre-season. As she was being compensated but not contracted and was locked out from signing with a new team for the upcoming season, she sued UAI Urquiza and the Argentine Football Association alleging discrimination where professional women's players were wrongly treated as amateurs.
Three months later, Sánchez was one of fifteen players who joined San Lorenzo on a professional contract; an historic first for Argentina's women's football.
