Tokyo Olympics: The rise of the Chile women's football team


After 14 years at Santiago Morning, Navarro lifted the club from the bottom to the top and brought women's football up with her. "This is the most fundamental thing with this national team, the day-to-day work they do with the clubs. "That's 80% of the job - and the last 20% is done with the national team." In February 2019, Navarro and Santiago Morning made history and changed the standard of domestic women's football in Chile after introducing the first professional contracts. The 2008 Under-20 World Cup had been Chile's only major women's football tournament - qualifying as hosts - until the 2019 World Cup.
