Who is Evelina Cabrera?
Evelina Cabrera is a prominent Argentine athlete, coach, writer, and social leader, recognized worldwide as a key figure in promoting and empowering women’s soccer and sports as a tool for transformation. Born in Virreyes, in the province of Buenos Aires, on September 26, 1986, her life is a powerful story of resilience: after an adolescence marked by poverty, life on the streets, and gender-based violence, she found in sports a path to rebuild her own life and, later, the lives of thousands of women. Her struggle has made her a global symbol of inclusion and equality.
After overcoming a difficult childhood, Evelina managed to finish high school and began playing amateur soccer for Club Atlético Platense. Although a benign tumor forced her to retire from the field in 2012, this setback did not stop her. She decided to remain involved in sports through a managerial role, training as a coach and sports manager at the Argentine Association of Soccer Coaches (ATFA), channeling her passion toward the development and management of the sport.
In 2013, Evelina founded the Argentine Women’s Soccer Association (AFFAR), with the primary goal of promoting the social and athletic development of female players throughout the country, addressing critical issues such as gender-based violence and the lack of resources in the field. Her tireless work, which combines technical management with ontological coaching, has earned her tremendous international recognition: she was named one of the 100 most influential women in the world by the BBC in 2020 and was named Entrepreneur of the Year in Argentina by EY in 2021.
Her influence has transcended borders: she is the Ambassador for Equity in Sports for the Organization of American States (OAS) and has served on the jury for UNESCO’s Madanjeet Singh Prize. In addition, she is a sought-after speaker who has given talks at the United Nations (UN), the G20, and The Economist. She is the author of three books, including her autobiography *Altanegra* and *Liderate/Liberate*, using her personal story as a powerful force to inspire women’s leadership and demonstrating that discipline and determination can overcome any obstacle.
