Sheila Garcia She was one of the soccer players who was on the World Cup pre-list, but finally an injury prevented her from being in the Australia and New Zealand event. The Atlético player has been one of the three on this previous list, along with Zornoza and Athenea del Castillo, who has not signed the statement of the 39 players renouncing to be called up for the next matches.
I understand that defending my rights, those of my colleagues and other women who may feel represented is not at odds with wearing or refusing to wear my flag.

Due to the criticism received, the mattress forward wanted to explain the reasons that led her to be one of the possible players called up by Monste Tomé: “Defending my colors, my country and wearing the national team shirt is above the people who govern at all timesdirect or manage the federation, FIFA or any body on which we depend”.
Even so, the soccer player from Yunquera de Henares does not omit her discontent with the treatment received and openly sides with Jenni Hermoso and her teammates: “I understand that defending my rights, those of my colleagues and other women who may feel represented is not at odds with wearing or refusing to wear my flag.”
It is a deep feeling of mine that I feel for my country and my team and my colors

Full statement from Sheila García about the call
After the criticism and opinions that have been made about me for the decision not to sign the statement that many colleagues have signed, I want to clarify, first of all, that I am a woman and I will always be on the side of defending the women and their rights and recognitions.
I position myself on the side of Jenni and my teammates but I want to say how I feel that defending my colors, my country and wearing the national team’s shirt is above the people who at all times govern, direct or manage the federation, FIFA or any other organism on which we depend.
It is a deep feeling of mine that I feel for my country and my team and my colors.
I understand that defending my rights, those of my colleagues and other women who may feel represented is not at odds with wearing or refusing to wear my flag, I firmly believe that they can be defended with the same force without having to deny my team.
I want you to respect my feelings and the way in which I believe I should support my colleagues just as I respect and understand the way in which everyone wants to do so.
All my support to Jenni and my colleagues.
