“The invitation for TV Brasil to participate in two such important panels is in line with the role the broadcaster has been playing as the showcase for women’s football in recent years. We are part of this discussion as a public TV network that broadcasts the sport, helps expand its presence in the public’s daily lives, and views communication as an essential part of promoting the athletes, the clubs, and the stories that drive this universe,” Antonia Pellegrino said.
